RWJUH EMS & Trauma Education -- Assisting the MICU

EMS & Trauma Education

Assisting the MICU

Credit
9.0 elective NJ EMT CEUs have been approved for this program by the NJ Department of Health & Senior Services Office of Emergency Medical Services. The National Registry of EMTs accepts NJ EMT CEUs on a one-for-one basis.

Description
Patients in the field are best served by an integrated EMS healthcare team. Very few EMT initial training programs teach the EMT what the mobile intensive care unit (MICU) does and how to optimally work with MICU personnel. Similar to other "paramedic assistant" courses, this program bridges that gap by presenting:

An orientation to mobile intensive care in New Jersey;
Elements of the paramedic's decision-making process;
A reinforcement of selected EMT-level skills that are essential in ALS triage and treatment;
How to help MICU personnel prepare for routine ALS skills.

The program uses both lectures and skill stations.

Prerequisites
Participants should be certified as an EMT-Basic and actively care for prehospital patients in areas serviced by the RWJUH-SPMC MICU.

Date(s) & Time(s)
No offerings are currently scheduled. Interested EMS agencies within the RWJUH-SPMC MICU coverage area can request this program.

Fee(s)
$45.00
