NAEMT Education Strategic Plan

Pam Lane, MA

NAEMT Executive Director

Strategic Goals

• Respond to changing continuing education requirements outlined by NREMT.

• Respond to increased market interest in online learning and other non-traditional learning approaches.

• Offer continuing education that addresses the shift to a patient-centered, value and outcomes based healthcare delivery model.

NAEMT Education Strategic Plan

• Continue to develop and support traditional classroom and hybrid courses.

• Develop catalog of online continuing education courses based on content from NAEMT textbooks, and new sources.

• Develop and pilot new courses using alternative learning approaches.

Development and Support of Traditional Courses

• GEMS Advanced 8-hour course

• BLS version of 16-hour AMLS course

• EMS Disaster Preparedness

• EVOC

• Critical Care

• Community Paramedicine

Develop a Catalog of Online Courses

• Excellent content from our textbooks available to use.

• Many topical areas are not currently being addressed – may not be viable as classroom courses, but can be offered online.

• We would like to tap into the expertise of our faculty members by inviting them to submit proposals for online courses.

• NAEMT will be developing an online platform for submitting proposals.

• Look for an invitation to submit proposals in early 2016.

Courses with Alternative Learning Approaches

• Facilitated online learning – a student centered teaching method that uses an online platform, students are guided through the curriculum by an instructor who facilitates discussion, inquiry and peer-to-peer learning. Generally, asynchronous.

• Simulated online learning – a technique to enhance or replace real experiences with guided ones that include substantial aspects of the real world in a fully interactive fashion. Used to develop health professionals’ knowledge and skills while protecting patients from unnecessary risks.
