Women in EMS Questionnaire

This questionnaire is to help share real life experiences and to help guide me while I create a presentation about being a female in the field of EMS. The overall intent of the presentation will be to help unite and encourage female EMS providers. You are receiving this to provide perspective from one of the following: a female in EMS, a female in the workforce, or a male in EMS.

You will find questions to be multiple choice, open-ended, or a combination of both.

As I do believe we are all on a journey of improvement, please know that I will not be judging any information or actions taken that you share.
