I need an opinion...
A certain training officer organized a training that involved direct feedback from each EMT.
One patient (yours truly) and two EMTs. Longboarding is in progress.
All the other EMTs in attendance are watching the skill being performed. After the scenario, each EMT has to write down one good thing and one thing to work on for each EMT that was involved in the scenario. Names are not required.
Basically blind feedback.
Yay or nay?
All feedback is greatly appreciated. Depending upon how this goes, I may utilize this in the future for other scenarios. Hopefully they don't skin me alive and send me up the flagpole by my toes...

Yay.
Just curious, was this part of a program or just sharpening skills?
My department is notoriously sloppy at the basics. A drill like you described would open a lot of eyes around here, we have forgotten a lot of the basics. (I'm first on the list of forgetting basics)
Sharpening skills. Our EMTs are so touchy and will not talk to each other about anything really. I want to help show them it is okay to give each other constructive feedback and that there is always something to learn. Unfortunately, there were only 4 of us there last night so we didn't do it.
I do intend to utilize this in the future though. I feel a mass code coming on...
We do this same type of drill at my fire station, with more of an open forum discussion afterward. It works well, but in a volunteer organization, you always run the risk of bashing someones pride or hurting their feelings.
This is true. That is why I was hoping to have it as more of a "something to consider/work on" type approach. I was also going to be a part of the suggestions so as not to leave anyone out.
