Our agency has road crew that teaches the new generation of EMTs, as an EMT fto, as well as paramedics as a paramedic fto. After 16 long years of toiling and scraping and honing my skills, I have finally been graced with the opportunity to promote to a field training officer.

Before I am to receive my first intern, I am curious if there are any ways that can be suggested to teach this new prospective employee. Obviously, I have full intention of being firm but fair, letting them make their own mistakes, and have even turned our policy manual into a fill in the blank to reduce rote memorization and use personal engagement to help them understand our policy manual.i was just curious if there were people that really had a hard time learning the job, struggles they faced making the cut, and ways you went about resolving these, so that I can better help those having a hard time with road experience
