Your Specific Role and Challenges: A Retreat. At this level, the senior participants in the EMS Leadership Academy set the agenda in a facilitated retreat style session that focuses on applying what has been learned to actual cases. Specifically the session focuses on each participant’s leadership roles and challenges. Utilizing an “open space” format, participants chose the topics. Brief presentations are made on the topics and the balance of the allotted time is used to workshop each topic with discussion, exercises and the sharing of best (and worst) practices.
