EMS CORPS and the Future of Staffing
How can EMS fill its ranks and serve its diverse communities better? CEO Bill Seifarth welcomes Dave Page, Director of EMS Education for the EMS CORPS, to discuss this innovative workforce development program. This episode uncovers the deep roots of the EMS CORPS, tracing its mission back to the pioneering 1960s Freedom House ambulance service, and how this legacy is transforming lives today. Learn how the program recruits and mentors low-income youth and those facing systemic barriers, equipping them for success—including achieving first-attempt pass rates well above the national average on the National Registry examination. Hear how this "earn while you learn" model is expanding across the U.S., proving that opportunity and mentorship are the keys to building a robust, representative, and resilient EMS future.
