Summit '98 Executive Summary

This Summit on EMS Education and Training marks an unprecedented assembly of over 60 professionals representing undoubtedly all domains of human resource development in Emergency Medical Services. The information contained in these proceedings is the result of the combined efforts and knowledge of all summit participants.

The primary purpose of this summit was to allow stakeholders and interested parties to voice their opinions and concerns on a myriad of issues. The facilitated discussions enabled free exchange of information. The discussion of some issues resulted in reaching consensus while other discussions ended in many differences of opinions. In each case, participants felt that the open discussion of these issues was healthy. A valuable byproduct of this meeting was the opportunity for networking.

The information learned from this summit will assist the Florida Association of EMS Educators (FAEMSE) in developing specific objectives for our broad goals (see page ii in accompanying document). These proceedings should be viewed as a summary of over 60 opinions and not as a consensus document. Future meetings will be called to reach accord on some of the issues discovered during this summit.

A little over one year ago, with the invaluable assistance of Jaime Greene, John Todaro, Dick Clinchy, Nabil El Sanadi, Marcie Fisher, and myself, FAEMSE was formed. Our goal was, and remains today, to foster an environment of free communication amongst Florida's EMS education and training communities. The journey has been well worth the effort. This summit is a testimonial of our constituent's desire to belong and contribute to an organization of its peers. Together, we will join in the ceaseless pursuit of excellence in EMS education.

We are indebted to the group of dedicated professionals who gave their time and energy to discuss their experiences and opinions that represent the current day and future of Florida's EMS educational resources.

David M. LaCombe, EMT-P
Past President
Florida Association of Emergency Medical Services Educators
