2014 Midstate EMS Award

Midstate Educator of Excellence  Erik Merrill AEMT-P, CIC (Here’s what was said)

An extraordinary teacher, respected paramedic and friend are the words used to describe the 2014 Midstate Educator of Excellence. A challenging and demanding instructor, never letting up on us and always making sure we understand what he was teaching that’s what makes Erik special.

A successful career paramedic who is dedicated to teaching EMS, he has worked with the other instructor’s to create standardized presentations and evaluations that have improved all our classes. His students are always well prepared for both the practical and written certification exams.

His students wrote “It takes an educator of excellence to turn a group of people with a common interest into a team of critical thinkers” The class added it is his determination, confidence and passion for EMS that make him “special”.

in the words of his class “he just CARES” and all that know him  agree.
