Bob Page, internationally known speaker, instructor, author, and paramedic, recently shared his knowledge at Piedmont Community College (PCC) in a two-day seminar, his only scheduled seminar in North Carolina this year. During the event, Page worked with students from as far as Tennessee, teaching his Multi-Lead Medics 12 Lead course and Capnography course.
Page has presented seminars across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, the Middle East, and Japan. He is recognized for his energetic, humorous, and motivational style by taking ordinarily dry and hard to teach topics and transforming them into a fun, learning experience.
An instructor of over 40 years, teaching a variety of adult education courses from customer service to advanced medical care, Page is a nationally registered paramedic and a critical care paramedic. He is also a Nationally Certified EMS Educator and has been involved in EMS since 1978 when he became a CPR instructor.
