Mile in our Boots - Clinicians Academy

08/02/2025

How did MIOB clinicians academy come into existence?
Years ago, responders voiced concerns that clinicians really didn't "get it" and that they didn't understand the lingo. MIOB was designed to help fill that gap. For 4 days, you will be immersed into the first responder world. Our class portions are held at a working fire station. Not only will you begin your journey to "talking the talk", but you will also take your first steps in "walking the walk". You are divided into 4 squads (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta) and will learn to work together. You will share the highs of the academy, you develop the camaraderie with your squad, deal with the mental challenges of the tasks at hand while wearing protective equipment (bunker gear w/ air-packs and vests and duty belts), you will dispatch "responders" to high stress calls while calls continue to come in, and so much more that conventional conferences cannot begin to teach you. We hope that you are up for the challenge April 16 - 19, 2026. DM us if you are not already on our email list to keep up with the latest news!

The dates are on the calendar (April 16 - 19, 2026) @ Colleton County Fire Rescue, Station 19 in Walterboro, SC. Final touches are being added. If you have been to our academy, help us spread the word. Clinicians wanting to attend, can just message us and get added to our mailing list that will allow them to have early registration to assure one of the limited spots. The academy is open to ANY clinician that currently works with responders or has a desire to work with responders. We can promise that this will be a training event unlike any other training you have had!!

More pics from the past weekend. EMS track: hyperactve delirium with a child on scene that they had to go find. Child simulated unresponsive and not breathing. CPR in the back of a moving truck and trying to thread a needle (precision skills to simulate starting IV's - remember these are teaching moments, not teaching stations). Crews got to visit the dispatch center as well.

MIOB 2025 would like to thank our sponsors for this year as well.

Colleton County Fire Rescue - for the awesome employees and explorers that volunteered their time as well as the apparatus and equipment used on the Fire / EMS tracts

FHE / Shatterproof - they have believed in this program since day one and we are grateful for your support.

CARE flight - has provided breakfast for us from day one as well. Thank you for your support

SC Peer Connect App / First Response Mental Health (Kevin Kutcha) for providing breakfast as well.

Without the support of our sponsors, this would not be the success that it is.

Thank you.

Each class from MIOB gets their own "class video". Thanks to all who took pics and video (special thanks to Alex Wesson and Brandon Banks for the drone footage & Alex for putting all of it together). (*MIOB does not own the right to any of the music used in the video, nor do we receive any monetary incentives / donations for the video*)

One of the scenarios for the weekend was a mom who stepped away a "few minutes", her kid wandered off and was found unresponsive with no pulse. LEO took care of mom so the kid could be taken care of.
