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.

Art Hsieh is the CEO of the San Francisco Paramedic Association. (SFParamedics.org). The SFPA trains more than 10,000 students per year and serves a population of 9 million people in the Bay area of California.

Make sure you listen close for Art’s conversations with the hosts about:

• using a normative process to construct evaluations
• 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
