**Evaluate this session**
The affective domain remains one of the most challenging and nebulous of the objectives in the EMS curriculum. How our students relate emotionally and professionally to the topics we discuss, the patients they encounter and the colleagues they work with often determines their future success or failure in EMS. In the past, students were tutored under the ever watchful eye of a mentor who was both respected and revered and who “taught” the student what was expected of them in all three domains through example. The student learned what was acceptable and what was not by trial and error - guided by the admonishment of their mentor. Dr. Wesley will discuss the use of mentors in EMS education, how to choose the right mentor for each student and unique mentoring opportunities that exist in every EMS system.
