Perils and Pitfalls of Media Interviews - Presented by William Tatum, Oconee Medical Center EMS & Chip Culbertson, Florence Co. EMS

Ever been caught off-guard with the cameras rolling and a microphone in your face? Have you said something to the media you wish you could take back? Sometimes “no comment” says more about you and your service than you might think. Learn effective interview techniques to make your next “fifteen minutes of fame” shine.

 

Evolution of Injury Prevention - Presented by Jim Burfiend & Chris Esdorn, Berkeley Co. EMS

Accidents happen – they help keep our lights and sirens going like the Energizer Bunny! From the very young to the most mature, injury prevention has its place in the pre-hospital setting. Learn how injury prevention has changed over the years – it’s not just for kids anymore!
