The National Association of State EMS Officials (NASEMSO) is conducting needs assessment surveys of EMS educators, EMS programs, and state EMS training coordinators to determine how the EMS community is progressing with implementation of the EMS Education Agenda. National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) EMS Committee Chairman Ken Knipper participated in the development of the Agenda, which includes formal educational standards to assist EMS educators and program managers in developing instructional materials.
An instructional cover letter and the survey sample are posted at: http://www.nasemso.org/EMSEducationImplementationPlanning/index.asp. The links to the surveys are imbedded within the instructions. NASEMSO is encouraging participants to view the PDF files to read the survey and think about their answers in advance of logging in to the web site because once an individual starts the survey, they will not be able to exit and return to view or edit their answers.
The deadline for completing the survey is December 4, 2009.
