- Abstract
A unique approach to providing orientation and supervised field experience for newly graduated paramedics and for the continuing education and recognition of experienced, skilled, operational paramedics is described. A group of 30 paramedic field instructors (PFI) was selected following application, development of criteria for selection, and interviews. This program had a positive effect in both realms during its first year of operation in the emergency medical services system in which it was implemented.
