EMS Corps is a groundbreaking recruitment and training program that prepares young adults to work in their own community as EMS clinicians. The program helps to remove barriers to joining the EMS profession and focuses on leadership development, mentorship, and job training. Hosts Rob Lawrence and Hilary Gates interview Melissa Corney of the Oxnard Fire Department and Captain Janick Lewis of New Orleans EMS, both of whom have instructed in EMS Corps’ innovative model of flipped-classroom learning and wraparound support that sets up students for success. One of those success stories is EMS Corps recent graduate Savannah Gaskill, also joining the podcast. From its origins in Alameda County to recent national expansion, EMS Corps is proving that when clinicians reflect the communities they serve, patient outcomes, agency culture, and clinician confidence all improve.
Ginger Locke highlights the episode's key points with her "Mindset Minute."

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
