Are you setting your Field Training Officers up for success — or just handing them a clipboard and wishing them luck? 📋

Meet Sara Houston & Max Patterson — two of our featured presenters at the NCAEMSA 2026 Summer Symposium!

🎯 Session: Basic Field Training Officer (FTO) Course
🏷️ Track: Education

The FTO role is often a paramedic's first step into leadership — but most are appointed with no preparation beyond their field experience. This three-day course introduces prospective FTOs to the structure, tools, and techniques of EMS-FTEP™, covering adult learning principles, coaching, evaluation, feedback, and trainee performance documentation using Standardized Evaluation Guidelines, the Recruit Training Manual, and Daily Observation Reports.

🏛️ Yesterday, the NCAEMSA Executive Committee took our mission to the halls of the NC General Assembly! Our leaders met with elected officials to champion the future of Emergency Medical Services across North Carolina.

From workforce recruitment and retention to stronger protections for our providers on the front lines — we showed up and spoke up for EMS. Key priorities we're pushing this session:

✅ Competitive pay and benefits to recruit and keep top EMS talent
✅ Stronger criminal penalties for assaults against EMS workers
✅ 25-year retirement benefits recognizing the demands of this profession
✅ Formal classification of EMS as Essential Services
✅ Expanded Mobile Integrated Healthcare and Community Paramedicine
✅ Better Medicaid reimbursement for the care we provide

North Carolina's EMS community deserves a seat at the table — and we made sure we had one yesterday. Thank you to every legislator who took the time to listen. The work continues! 💪

What if the problem isn't the data… it's how we're wired to use it? 🧠

Meet Dr. Remle Crowe — one of our featured keynote presenters at the NCAEMSA 2026 Summer Symposium!

🎯 Session: Data-Driven Leadership: Beyond the Dashboard
🏷️ Track: Leadership

EMS leaders are surrounded by data — but dashboards alone can't solve burnout, staffing shortages, or broken system trust. Dr. Crowe explores how psychology, neuroscience, organizational behavior, and systems thinking shape the way leaders interpret information, influence culture, and drive real change. This keynote is a roadmap for building smarter systems, healthier cultures, and better outcomes.

👤 About Dr. Crowe:
Dr. Remle Crowe's path to EMS research took a scenic route — starting as a volunteer EMT with the Red Cross in Mexico City while engineering powertrains at Ford Motor Company, where she earned a Six Sigma Black Belt in quality improvement. Now Senior Director of Research at ESO, she leads innovative projects harnessing data to improve community health and safety outcomes, with more than 100 peer-reviewed publications to her name.
