Jason Fox
Sept. 20, 2018
He’s been in public service since he was a 16-year-old volunteer firefighter and a Roane State Community College instructor since 2012.
Now, Roane State’s Jason Fox has been honored by his peers with the Tennessee EMS Education Association’s 2017-18 Adjunct Faculty Excellence in Teaching Award.
Paramedic program director David Blevins nominated Fox for the award. Blevins noted the high certification exam scores of Fox’s students, Fox’s rapport with faculty and peers, his creative teaching methods, and “an overall desire to enhance the profession.”
“Mr. Fox has a tremendous desire to ensure his students are not only well-prepared entry- level EMTs, he desires to create compassionate practitioners that go above and beyond the minimums expected,” Blevins said.
Fox, also with the Morristown-Hamblen Emergency Medical Services, was part of a team that was awarded the statewide “Star of Life” award last year for their role in reviving a just-born, premature infant who had stopped breathing and had no pulse. The Tennessee Emergency Services for Children organization bestowed that honor.
Fox also was awarded the Adjunct Faculty Member of the Year for the Allied Health Sciences Division at Roane State for the 2016-17 academic year.
