Presenter: Ryan Cogdill, EMS Instructor, Area Career Center, Hammond, Indiana

In healthcare education, teaching hands-on skills goes beyond checklists—it’s about preparing students for the unpredictable realities of patient care. Using real EMS and allied health scenarios, this session will show how structured, repeatable steps (“the cookbook method”) build competency, while also developing clinical reasoning, rapid decision-making, and confidence under pressure. Walk away with practical classroom strategies to help students master procedures, build muscle memory, and apply skills in real-world settings—ultimately training them to think like healthcare professionals when it matters most.
