James O. Page, the founding father of modern EMS in the United States, had a vision to create a mentorship program for EMS practitioners to guide and support them in achieving their leadership goals. He called it the “EMS Lighthouse Leadership Program.” Although Jim passed away before he could implement the program, other leaders in EMS inspired by Jim’s vision have developed the framework for this new EMS mentorship program.
In this edition of NAEMT Radio Rob Lawrence, NAEMT Member and Lighthouse Leadership Mentor talks to three members of the first graduating class of the program, John Sammons, Elizabeth Beatty and Kyle Levesque. They share their experiences in applying for the program, the mentorship they received, lessons learned and how they are already paying it forward.Resources:
