Continuing Medical Education
A summary of the CME Requirements for 2011 is now available, as well as the four reporting forms (one for each level):
- 2010 CME Form for EMRs (pdf)
- 2010 CME Form for EMTs (pdf)
- 2010 CME Form for EMT-As (pdf)
- 2010 CME Form for EMT-Ps (pdf)
The changes from the 2010 CME requirements include:
- Mandatory Skills at every level now include Biomechanics of Safe Lifting and Moving as well as Medications;
- EMT level mandatory skills of spinal immobilization and mechanical aids to breathing are no longer required separately as all EMTs must have ITLS issued in 2009 or 2010.
- The Forms have been changed to put the mandatory and ALS skills, as well as new protocols on the second page. There is also a section on the second page where coordinators MAY enter information on the CME activity taken as part of the Agency CME program during the year (this is an optional section included for your convenience – we do not require it).
