This blog is still a thing, right?
I feel like I have neglected this page a bit over the past few months, mostly because, well honestly, I have.
It has been a busy, but really fun few months. I graduated from the NAEMT Lighthouse Leadership Program, which was an amazing experience. The friendships I have made will last a lifetime, the networking opportunities were amazing, and those opportunities led to the chance to appear on a few podcasts, with more in the works, write for JEMS and EMS1, with more writing commitments in the works, and to just dive into improving our profession on a grander scale than I ever thought possible for me. A few of us had the opportunity to present at EMS World in New Orleans to talk about the Lighthouse program and what we learned about leadership, mentorship, vision, goals, and networking. We had a blast presenting, and I hope that I can do more of it in the future. A few of my peers are already out there speaking at other conferences and doing great things. The group I graduated with are an amazing bunch and will definitely be driving forces in the future of EMS.
This page is far from dead, there are at least two posts in the works, I just need to find the time to get them done (I’m looking at you TJ and Boston).
Below are links where you can find some of the neat stuff I’ve been up to, check it out, and stick with this page as well, there will be more to come. And don’t forget, if you want to post here, just reach out: ptcmedic19@gmail.com
