Is it possible to evaluate students in all domains – cognitive, affective, and psychomotor?
Is it possible to train EMTs to both pass the national certification exam and be clinically competent for the first day on the job?
Listen to how Art Hsieh discuss evaluation tools and techniques for all domains and the goals of the San Francisco Paramedic Association to develop students that excel at test taking and are job ready.

- peer-to-peer evaluations of the affective domain
- frequency of testing
- importance of using computer based testing
- effort it takes to create evaluations that are useful and unbiased

This was one of the best episodes yet! The discussion of preparing students to be field ready and have an easy time at the Registry exam is right on. I also agree that students should be competent at all three domains before they graduate. Great discussion.
