“What we Have Here is a Failure to Communicate" - Communications 101 for EMS Providers and Managers
February 25, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time)
EMS providers and managers must communicate daily with various parties both inside and outside of EMS. Strong verbal and non-verbal, as well as other, communication skills are imperative. The sharing of messages between human beings is complicated and far too often taken for granted. This light hearted, yet insightful and informative, presentation will focus on the basics communications skills, the common pitfalls that EMS providers and managers fall into while attempting to communicate and attempt to teach us all not to take communication for granted.
