Inside EMS Podcast: Does Lack of Reimbursement Drive Shoddy Training?

On this week’s episode of Inside EMS, co-host Chris Cebollero and I discuss the chicken or egg question: does crappy reimbursement drive shoddy training and educational standards, or do we get reimbursed poorly because we’re content with being a bunch of barely educated skills monkeys?

We also discuss the recent murder of a Pulaski County, Arkansas EMT by a patient, and whether arming EMTs would curtail the rash of violence against EMS providers.

Give us a listen, and share your thoughts.
