2016 EMS INSTRUCTOR OF THE YEAR
Lynn Kropf, Louisa County EMS
This educator would give the shirt off their back for
their students. This educator had a huge desire to offer an EMT
Course in their community and reached out to me shortly after I
accepted the Program Director position at the University of Iowa
EMSLRC. This educator was interested in working with our team to
offer an outreach EMT Course. Because I was transitioning into
my role and working to identify the vision for our department, I
told her we couldn’t offer a class at the present time but we
should stay in touch. She was persistent to say the least. She
contacted me on a regular basis to see if she could offer this
course to meet her community’s needs and I continued to
reiterate to her that we were re-evaluating and revising our EMT
outreach curriculum. When she would come to the EMSLRC to
complete her updates for AHA and NAEMT courses, she always
offered to assist in any way that she could. Finally, in the
Spring of 2015 after ensuring we had developed a sound
curriculum to support an outreach program, I agreed to offer an
outreach EMT course in Columbus Junction. Lynn, was excited and
wanted to make sure her students would be successful, ensuring
she was always available to support her students. Although this
course met only two nights per week from August until March, the
entire cohort of five students that completed the course passed
National Registry on their first attempt!
