Class Description
Vague praise doesn’t build better providers — effective feedback does. This session dives into how EMS educators and FTOs can deliver feedback that actually drives growth. You’ll explore why comments like “good job” fall short, learn proven techniques for giving clear, constructive input, and practice turning real EMS scenarios into powerful teaching moments. Whether you're precepting in the field or debriefing in the classroom, you'll leave with tools to give feedback that sticks.
