Assistant Director, CoAEMSP

Advisory Committees are a standard expectation in AEMT and paramedic education and serve as a vital link between programs and their communities of interest. According to the CAAHEP Standards, the Advisory Committee helps program and sponsor personnel in formulating and periodically revising appropriate goals and learning domains, monitoring needs and expectations, ensuring program responsiveness to change, and reviewing and endorsing required minimum numbers of patient contacts.

In this webinar, we’ll focus on turning Advisory Committee meetings into dynamic, productive conversations rather than simple progress updates. Participants will explore practical ways to plan and conduct meetings that promote meaningful dialogue, encourage active participation, and gather valuable advice that leads to continuous improvement and compliance with accreditation standards.
