About this episode

The episode discusses how national partnerships and modern learning strategies are transforming prehospital care during EMS Week Education Day.

On today’s EMS Week Education Day episode, Mike Brown speaks with Dr. Navin Ariyaprakai and Michael Kaduce about how national partnerships, accreditation, and modern learning strategies are reshaping prehospital care. They explain why accreditation lifts program standards, improves outcomes, and strengthens medical director involvement; and give examples where evidence changes field practice. They cover the difference between initial and continuing education, the value of timely, collegial feedback from medical directors, and pragmatic uses for microlearning and emerging micro‑credentials in continuing education.
