Pre-Con: National Registry Cognitive Exam Prep & Street to AEMT in One Semester
Wed, July 20 at 8:00 AM
National Registry Cognitive Exam Preparatory Training the Trainer: Deputy Chief Brent Dyer will provide proven best practices to assist your students in passing the National Registry Cognitive Exam. Mr. Dyer can be credited with helping students from all across the state of TN in successful completion of National Registry.
Street to AEMT in One Semester: Columbia State Community College’s EMS Academy was tasked in 2018 to create a single semester program that integrated EMT and AEMT. Working with the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians and State of Tennessee Department of Health EMS Division, the first program was offered in the spring semester of 2019. Now several semesters later, this program is out of its “pilot” phase and an eligible course being offering in the State of Tennessee. This session will focus on the successes and failures of the Street to AEMT Pilot and offer participants a window into what it takes to make this course offering successful.

MONA is Not a Masterpiece and Other Stuff We Should Already Know
Wed, July 20 at 12:15 PM
Emergency Medical Services is at a crossroads. You know it. I know it. The signs of its pending implosion are readily apparent. Bad attitudes, a shortage of providers, and career burnout are just a few of the problems it must face.
This makes the role of an EMS educator foundationally critical to the future of the profession.
What is out Mission Statement?
What is our Vision Statement?
Do we even have these?
What is our CULTURE.
WHO takes up our mantle?
This presentation will discuss the future of EMS education and what WE MUST DO to impact the future of the profession we all love.

Wed, July 20 at 2:30
This presentation will speak to the necessity of inducing stress in a balanced way throughout EMS education curriculum and skills/scenarios to help build resilience within our future providers. We will be discussing strategic stressors through testing and scenarios so that Providers must learn to adapt and overcome and build their confidence for the chaotic world of EMS. We will also be discussing the need for open door policies for students to be able to debrief and understand the importance of leaning on others throughout their careers to promote longevity.

What About the Kids? Ensuring Pediatric Excellence through Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinators (1)
Wed, July 20 at 3:45
This is part one of a two-part series.
Identified Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinators (PECCS) are an up-and-coming standard for both hospitals and EMS agencies across the nation. PECCs aren’t always the pediatric expert as one may think. Instead, PECCs take on the important role of pediatric advocate by routinely questioning, “What about the kids?” Join us as we discuss the roles of a PECC, why they are crucial to maintaining an agency’s pediatric competency and how we can move this initiative forward as a team.

Self-directed Learning: A Medical School Model
Thur, July 21 at 8:00 AM
Self-directed learning (SDL) is the process where individuals take responsibility for their education. Each person determines what they want to learn, sets goals, identifies a process by which they will reach their goals and evaluate their outcomes. It is a process where an individual takes initiative without the influence of others (Lowry, 2010). SDL has become popular in medical curricula and has been advocated as an effective learning strategy for medical students to develop competence in knowledge acquisition. This presentation will define the concepts of SDL and describe how it might be implemented and impactful in EMS programs.

Teach the Teacher: Techniques for Increasing Effectiveness of Classroom and Clinical Education
Thur, July 21 at 10:30 AM
This highly interactive session will provide educators with practical tips to increase the effectiveness of their classroom and clinical teaching. First, educators will gain a set of tools to increase the interactivity of classroom-based activities and promote a healthy classroom environment. Next, through a combination of large and small group discussions educators will discuss common learner difficulties in the clinical learning environment. Lastly, educators will work collaboratively to develop educational strategies to effectively address learner difficulties and build confidence to implement these strategies in their teaching.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
· Recall instructional strategies that increase active learning in classroom-based activities
· Identify common learner difficulties in the clinical learning environment
· Utilize strategies to effectively address these difficulties

Behind the Mask- Reboot Recovery- Overcoming Trauma Together
Thur, July 21 at 1:30 PM
Trauma changes you, no question. But how it changes you is partially determined by the choices you make after the trauma occurs. We can’t promise that REBOOT will magically make your symptoms disappear, but what we can do is help you take productive steps toward a life of freedom and purpose despite what you’ve been through. Join me as we look Behind the Mask, discuss how Trauma enters our lives, understanding Trauma is an experience and not an event. It’s what happens inside us because of what happens to us. We will discuss how to renew our Faith and share techniques to live a life of contradiction.
Objectives:
Discuss the impact of suicide within first responders, police, and military.
Examine the Polyvagal Theory and how it plays a role in our responses.
Review Stress, Trauma, and PTSD effects and identify the 6 GATEWAYS of Trauma.
Review our course data and highlight the statically significant improvement to individual’s health and wellness.

EMT Portfolio
Fri, July 22 at 8:00 AM
Historically, EMS education programs have instructed EMT students to manage patients with medical and traumatic emergencies. Educators have worked to facilitate critical thinking and help EMT students to 'put it all together'. Then, at the end of the program, EMT students are tested in isolated skills using step by step skill sheets. There is a better way to evaluate student competence. This session looks at the process of helping EMT students to create a portfolio of skills and assessments, demonstrating the development of competence over the duration of the class. Then at the end of class, students can be assessed in a more comprehensive manner.

Low Cost/ No Cost Tech for the EMS Educator
Fri, July 22 at 9:00 AM
We live in an age that requires the use of technology for the effective delivery of educational components. At the same time, there has been no other time in which resources have been so limited towards the acquisition of these components. This presentation will exam and identify those resources that educators can find and use at little or no cost.

EMS Education Standards: What Are We Supposed to Do With These?
Fri, July 22 at 10:15 AM
Early EMS Education was guided by DOT curriculum. The curriculum told instructor what to teach, in what order it should be taught and gave specific objectives to be tested. Keeping a national curriculum current with standard of practice proved tricky if not impossible. The EMS Education Standard were created to replace the curriculum. This work aligned all levels of EMS providers and gives guidance on what to teach but is not specific. It is up to EMS Educators to create a curriculum of their own which incorporates the EMS Education Standards. This session will look at the Education Standards and will discuss methods to create curriculum using the document.
