The EMS Leadership Academy is based upon a concept begun in the early 90’s to provide leadership and management training for EMS Leaders in Texas (the TEEX EMS Leadership Academy began in 2004). From the beginning the program philosophy has been to provide continuing education designed for professional development using an integrated EMS System approach. Training is designed to be people focused, performance measured and outcome driven, using a “can do” positive approach and attitude.
