Here's another session at the upcoming EMS Educator Symposium that you won't want to miss! This session will provide EMS educators with the essential tools and knowledge to recognize, address, and prevent predatory behaviors within EMS education and emergency scenes. Participants will gain an understanding of the various forms of predatory behavior—ranging from manipulation and harassment to inappropriate conduct—that can occur between students, educators, guardians, or bystanders in emergency situations. The session will offer practical, proactive strategies for creating safe and supportive learning environments, both in the classroom and during field training, aimed at preventing these harmful behaviors. Educators will also learn how to establish effective response strategies, including clear reporting procedures and methods of providing support to those affected by predatory behaviors. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped to foster a safer and more respectful atmosphere for all involved in EMS education and emergency response.

In EMS, success under pressure is essential. This session introduces stress inoculation training (SIT), a powerful approach to prepare students for the challenges of real-world emergencies. Based on a two-year study, we'll share how controlled exposure to stress, paired with practical stress-reduction techniques like tactical breathing, enhances student confidence, decision-making, and performance. Educators will learn to create realistic scenarios that mimic the pressures of the field, helping students develop the resilience needed to excel. Through clear examples and actionable strategies, this session equips educators with tools to transform their training programs, ensuring students are not only prepared but thrive under stress. This is more than a presentation—it's a call to action to revolutionize EMS education and produce clinicians ready for anything the field demands.

Ready to take your pediatric training to the next level? Don’t miss the Pediatric Education for Prehospital Professionals (PEPP) Instructor Course at the NAEMSE Symposium! After successful completion of the course, participants will be eligible to become PEPP course coordinators and begin teaching PEPP.

Pediatric Education for Prehospital Professionals (PEPP) is an evidence-based course focused on the assessment and management of infants and children in the field. PEPP paired physicians and EMS providers to ensure the content reflects current best practices and the realities of the field. Developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, PEPP is designed to give prehospital professionals the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to assess and manage pediatric patients. PEPP combines world-class content with engaging features and an interactive course to truly prepare prehospital professionals for the wide variety of pediatric emergencies they may encounter. Online learning modules are completed prior to the onsite portion of the course. During the onsite portion of this course, learners will participate in pediatric skill stations, small group discussions, role play and other interactive games.
