The flipped classroom model dedicates class time to resolving misconceptions through collaborative problem-solving activities, elevating knowledge into application-level tasks and skills practice, and increasing engagement and confidence. Students interact with primary source content outside of the classroom to develop foundational knowledge.

The course features student-directed courseware, including problem-solving activities, peer-to-peer activities, and student coaching, with competency checks throughout. Sample activities include: Build It: Students use different objects and materials to build models relating to the lesson topic. Trauma Tango: Students memorize and practice performing the steps of patient assessment by creating correlating dance moves. Rap Songs: Students create rap songs based on medical terminology or medication that EMTs administer, and present their songs to the class. Goo On You: Students put on personal protective equipment (PPE) and are squirted with various types of "goo" to show the importance of properly donning and doffing PPE. Challenge Scenario: Students act out a complex scenario that contains multiple issues and requires strong problem-solving skills. EMT Flipped Classroom is designed to help educators shift from the role of lecturer to the role of guide and facilitator, allowing traditional instructor-centered classrooms to transform into student-centered learning environments where instructors can have an even greater impact on student outcomes.
