So Why an MTLI Blog?

I’ve been doing a bunch of stuff with blogging this year – some professionally, some personally, and thought it might be fun to host a blog for students and faculty at MTLI this year.  MTLI is already a great networking and information sharing forum, so I thought “could a blog enhance/extend the experience?”  In its current format, students attend MTLI for one week two years in a row to achieve the Certified Medical Transport Executive (CMTE) designation, and are then invited to return for yearly graduate studies to help keep up the certification and generally “stay current”.  With all these thought-leaders and industry participants in one place, MTLI is always abuzz with industry stuff… maybe this blog can help deliver some of that for folks who couldn’t attend, or who don’t know about the school at all.  More on that later…

So sit back, read a little, and most of all, add your voice to the conversation… you have two options to do so.  One, comments are enabled for this blog, so log in and make a few.  Second, either find or e-mail me at info [at] heligistix [dot] com (format the address normally – the spaces and braces help keep down on the spammers) if you’d like to be added to the author’s list.  This is really easy to accomplish, and will let you make postings of your own.  C’mon – it will be fun.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?
