Field Training Officer:Tips and Techniques

Field Training Officer: Tips and Techniques for FTOs, Preceptors, and
Mentors provides comprehensive and concrete guidance on how to
effectively perform the job of field training officer (FTO).
Extensively field-tested, the approach presented has been used by the
authors since 1998 and has helped train EMTs and paramedics in
college, hospital, fire department, and third service programs. The
text contains a variety of tips and techniques that experienced FTOs
can use to supplement teaching methods they are currently using. New
FTOs can use these same tips and techniques to develop an effective
approach to teaching and evaluating students, and will help them hit
the ground running as they assume their new duties. This text is a
must-have for all FTOs, preceptors, coaches, mentors, instructors,
and any EMS personnel who provide instruction and evaluation of
patient care providers.
