Abstract

EMS agencies are generally focused on patient care skills and on-scene management, spending very little time developing the core leadership skills needed to lead their team both on-scene and while back at the station. There are numerous health care competency models available to help leaders grow, however, there is one model available to EMS agencies that has not been validated. This study will utilize a mixed method approach to identify competencies that can be used among EMS Leaders to guide and develop leadership skills and training.
