EMS & Trauma Education
EMT-Paramedic Refresher Program
(National Registry EMT-Paramedic
Section 1A Completion Program)
Credit
The complete course provides 18
hours of continuing education for ALS providers. CEU
credit
for MICU personnel will be awarded at the discretion of the clinical
coordinator.
However, at the conclusion of the course, each student who completes
the
program will receive a personalized Certificate of Completion that
itemizes
the continuing education content and hours in a format acceptable for
the
National
Registry of EMTs. No EMT-Basic CEU credit is awarded.
Description
This course is useful for:
- Continuing education for
current EMT-Paramedics or mobile intensive care paramedics/nurses
(MICP/MICN),
- Reregistration of current
Nationally
Registered EMT-Paramedics,
- Entry or re-entry into
the
National
Registry of EMTs,
- Retraining for the
NREMT-Paramedic
written examination after successive failures.
Section
1A of the reregistration requirements
for NREMT-P includes 48 hours of training selected from the USDOT
EMT-Paramedic national standard curriculum. (This
training is also necessary for a paramedic's re-entry into the National
Registry.) The Spring 2002
issue of the NREMT newsletter The
Registry explains that paramedics who complete
- a
full ACLS provider course and
- PALS,
PEPP, or EPC (formerly PPC) and
- PHTLS
Combined or Advanced or BTLS Advanced
(changing its name to ITLS)
provider course
within their recertification
period will satisfy much, but not all, of the necessary 48 hours.
This EMT-P Refresher
Program supplies the remaining training over two days. NJ MICPs
who take ACLS, PALS, PHTLS, and this
course during their two-year certification period can satisfy their NJ
continuing education requirements. The course includes
presentations by EMS educators, physicians,
and other professionals of Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and
UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. The faculty have been
selected
for their expertise, dynamic teaching style, positive evaluations from
prior classes and familiarity with the material appropriate for
practicing
paramedics.
Prerequisites
There are no formal
prerequisites.
However, the course is intended for prehospital ALS providers
(paramedics, MICU nurses
and critical care transport nurses) who interface with EMS
workers.
Students should have completed an initial EMT-Paramedic training
program,
but current certification as a paramedic is not required.
