Career and Professional Development

We firmly believe in shaping the future of the field by finding and cultivating strong leaders. We demonstrate that commitment by helping industry organizations and individuals alike with a wide variety of leadership programming, services and development tools.

Manager Certificate Programs: We conduct popular, intensive education programs for aspiring, new and experienced managers who wish to develop their leadership competencies and sharpen essential management skills. More

Leadership Training: Client-specific training programs are tailored to address often-neglected areas of leadership development, imparting both the latest management knowledge and proven best practices. We also offer individual executive assessment and coaching.

Recruitment and Selection: For most organizations, good managers are hard to find. We help locate, recruit, interview and select candidates, ensuring the best possible match for the position, the organization, and the manager alike.

Professional Journal Articles: We contribute regular articles on management and related issues to respected industry publications such as JEMS, Emergency Medical Services magazine, EMS Insider, and Best Practices in Emergency Services, as well as numerous industry websites.

Public Speaking: Our nationally recognized principals and consultants regularly speak at major conferences, seminars and special events.

Conference Sponsorship: We sponsor premier national conferences such as the Pinnacle Leadership Forum and the Leadership Track at EMS Today.

Regional Seminars: We periodically conduct workshops on specific medical transportation concerns, addressing both “hot issues” and basic skills for individuals who wish to further their careers in EMS and medical transportation.

Management Newsletter: Our Management Focus newsletter is published quarterly and distributed free to thousands of managers, covering the most important industry trends and delivering useful management advice.

Collegiate Texts: Fitch principals and consultants have written or contributed to the majority of texts used in college-level EMS management programs. Our latest full-length textbook, Prehospital Care Administration Second Edition: The Industry's Best Articles, Essays and Case Studies on The Toughest EMS Issues, published in cooperation with JEMS, gives students, managers and executives dozens of case studies on critical issues facing their industry.
