Questions for Dr Drees

In the next week or so I’m going to be interviewing Dr Bill Drees, the head of the Lone Star College-North Harris EMS program. As a student I’ve got a few questions for him, but what about the rest of you?

Dr Drees says he has strong opinions about how EMS education should be done, and I know some of our listeners do as well. What questions do you have for the head of one of 15 accredited programs in Texas?

Leave them in the comments below.

  1. I’d like to find out what his views are on expanding the amount of distance learning allowed for re-certification of providers? Many EMS providers are working two jobs to make ends meet. Having a cost-effective and time-saving way to gain continuing education credits is imperative in retention of our existing providers.

    You are a day too late. I had the interview yesterday.

    We have talked a couple of times on the Podcast about high schoolers
    going into EMT class. Kelly’s big advice is that it is going to be
    harder than high school was. There is a lot of material and little
    hand holding.

    Dr. Drees did mention that many of the students they get aren’t
    prepared academically.
