Free Elearning Won’t Help you Connect with EMS Professionals
I am making final preparations for my two presentations at EMS Expo. During my presentation, Online Education Trends for Emergency Responders, I will dispel the myth of free for vendors, hospitals, and training providers to connect with EMS professionals. Sure free CE and free food is always welcome, but it does not build a tribe. Free does not build a long and collaborative connection. EMS professionals want to belong to a bigger movement, connect with other EMS professionals from near and far, interact directly with subject matter experts and EMS “celebrities,” and collaborate with one another to learn, solve problems, and improve the profession.
What do you think about the notion of free? Do you feel connected with the organizations and vendors that give you free food and free CE? Is my premise, connections and collaboration, more meaningful and useful than free?
