“There are no negatives for building a youth serving or facing EMS Training opportunity in your area – none! We have talked about how it leads to career opportunities; we’ve spoken to how young people can change the economic future of their families, on an even more practical level, young people can become empowered to help shape the wellness and longevity of their entire population by something as simple as knowing CPR in an emergency or knowing how to properly how to call help in an emergency”
In this edition of NAEMT Radio, host, Rob Lawrence hears from Chief Julius D Jackson (quoted above), EMS Program Director from Eastern High School in Washington DC and John Cavell, Education Manager from the Louisiana Department of Health Bureau of EMS as they discuss recruiting the next generation of EMS team members through High School EMS Programs.
Also in this edition, John Cavell discusses the Louisiana Bureau of EMS (LaBEMS), EMS Pathway, part of the Louisiana Department of Education’s (LDOE) Jump Start Initiative - an innovative career and technical education (CTE) program that prepares students to lead productive adult lives, capable of continuing their education after high school while earning certifications in high-wage career sectors.
After four years, the Louisiana EMS High School Pathway has grown from a handful of independent high school programs in 2015 to over 110 approved high school EMR programs and 11 EMT programs in 2019, accounting for nearly one-third of the high schools in the state.
