EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY WORKSHOP
Doug Gadomski, Lecturer / MA, NRP, UNM EMS Academy, Albuquerque, NM Co-Presenter: Rob Theriault BHSc., RCT(Adv.), CCP(F), Professor, Primary & Advanced Care Paramedic Programs, Georgian College, Barrie/Ontario, Canda
Mobile learning is not a fad. It's here, it has roots, and it is advancing at a breathtaking pace. However, many educators feel like they're being dragged into the 21st century kicking and screaming. Where do we start? What tools should we use? Is this evidence-based learning? In this eight hour hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to use and leverage a number of digital tools for the 21st century classroom, including podcasting, screencasting, student response systems and more. The objective will be to give participants a sampling of digital tools to choose from to embark on their own digital journey. Note: Participants will need the following prior to attending this workshop - laptop and a headset w/microphone. You will also need to download the following free PC/Mac software: Audacity, Jing, and Sky.

CARING ABOUT COMPETENCE
CULTURAL COMPETENCE: WHAT IT IS & WHY YOU SHOULD CARE
Sahaj Khalsa, BS, NRP, NM I/C, Program Dir., EMS Inst./Santa Fe Community College, Santa Fe, NM Co-Presenters: Mark Kunimune, MBA, Program Director - EMS, Kapi’olani Comm. College, Honolulu, HI Leauguey Barnes, MS, NRP, EMS Prog. Dir./ Faculty, Tulsa Comm. College, Tulsa, OK
EMS educators are quite used to measuring competence in many areas in their students. We are adept at evaluating competence in the psychomotor and didactic domains but what about measuring the affective domain, specifically the area of cultural competence? How culturally competent are we as educators? How does our view of cultural competence impact our students and their patient care? And, perhaps most importantly, how can a lack of cultural competency impact our services, patients, students and ourselves? This workshop will challenge you to critically evaluate your view of competence and understand why it is in all of our best interests to emphasize the importance of cultural competence in our educational programs and to our students. Through activities, interactive presentations and discussion, we will explore cultural competence and share tools to increase our own understanding of what it is.

22nd Annual NAEMSE Educator Symposium & Trade Show
IT’S ALL A GAME 2017: TACTILE LEARNING FOR ALL
Kirk Mittelman, Owner/M.Ed., NRP, Mt. Nebo Training, Elk Ridge, UT Co-Presenter: Margaret Mittelman, Associate Professor, Utah Valley University, Elk Ridge, UT
What motivates you to teach, learn and work in EMS? Is it the money you make or could it be the great schedule we all keep? Most likely the answer is: The good we can do when things go right and are fun. If we can keep the classroom moving and fun, the students will learn while enjoying the topics we have to present. Is it possible that if we utilize educational games in the classroom that students might enjoy learning? Implementing and building educational games is an art form that Kirk and Margaret have taken to another level. Join Kirk and Margaret in this NEW for 2017 4-hour class on how to make, use and implement games into your classroom and take your teaching to another level.
For this year's symposium, we will be utilizing the Guidebook Mobile App for capturing session evaluations. Guidebook can be accessed through your phone, laptop, iPad, or any other mobile device. To receive your official CEU's of attendance, you will need to download this app and complete a session evaluation for each presenter.

BREAKOUT 1D - BACK TO BASICS
Kirk Mittelman, M.Ed., NRP, Owner, Mt. Nebo Training, Elk Ridge, UT Co-Presenter: Margaret Mittelman, Associate Professor, Utah Valley University, Elk Ridge, UT
Dr. Chris Nollette, Ed.D., NRP, LP, Program Director, Ben Clark Training Center, Riverside, CA
Come join us to hear Dr. Chris Nollette, President of the National Association of EMS Educators (NAEMSE), as he provides an exciting presentation on his vast experience in EMS education.
BREAKOUT 1A - TAKE A VACATION ALREADY: CAN’T YOUR PROGRAM SURVIVE WITHOUT YOU?
Gary Heigel, Department Chair of Emergency Services, Rogue Community College, White City, OR
It is easy to believe that our courses and programs couldn’t possibly function without us. If that is really true, it is time to reassess, reevaluate, and build a better system. Whether you are planning for retirement, preparing for disaster, or simply trying to sneak off to the Bahamas, there are huge benefits to making sure your program will run smoothly when you are gone. Succession planning involves more than just telling somebody where the keys are, but it doesn’t need to be a daunting prospect. This presentation will outline key elements of a good plan and get you one step closer to that vacation you need and deserve!
BREAKOUT 1B - THE SOCIAL SIDE OF ONLINE LEARNING Doug Gadomski, Lecturer / MA, NRP, UNM EMS Academy, Albuquerque, NM
If you've ever taken an online course and felt like you're the only one in the class (cue the crickets), you're not alone! Learning is a social activity both in a classroom and at a distance. The question is "how do I bring that aspect of learning to a course that never gets to meet face-to-face?" Planning for a dynamic, interactive, and social (satisfying) experience isn't as intuitive as it seems. In this session we'll look at the social side of online learning and discuss ways you can successfully plan an online course that leaves your students feeling like they were part of a learning group that accomplished what they set out to learn!
BREAKOUT 1C - “CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?”
Shelly McLaughlin, MS, EMT-I, Asst. Dean for the Health Professions, UNM - School of Medicine, Albuquerque, NM
EMS educators, by taking a leadership role in incorporating principles of interprofessional practice (IPP), can play a critical role in developing curricula and learning experiences that promote achievement of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Triple Aim of improving patients’ experience of care, improving population health, and reducing healthcare costs. Effective interprofessional practices requires a core set of competencies. University of New Mexico Health Science Center EMS program has taken a prominent role in promoting curricula and pedagogy that advance the Triple Aim and teach Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaboration. This presentation provides several concrete examples and details of UNM-HSC’s initiatives that can help other programs become a part of this critical shift in health science professions and medical education.

Academia is turning to technology as a means of teaching to reach the maximum number of students and keep up with an ever-changing world. Is it time to get back to basics and actually work side by side with our students? Have we taken technology forward while forgetting our students’ needs? In this session we will explore the need to work side by side with students and get back to basics. These basics include making a difference in our student psychomotor and affective domains through face-to-face teaching. In their special and entertaining way Kirk and Margaret will provide exercises that will improve your time in face-to-face classes. This class will take you beyond lectures and into the realm of working to improve your students’ outcome and resiliency in EMS. Join Kirk and Margaret to explore the Basic way to change your students and make them lifelong EMS professionals.
BREAKOUT 2A - UNDERSTANDING COGNITIVE LOAD THEORY IMPROVES KNOWLEDGE RETENTION IN THE CLASSROOM William Robertson, DHSc, MS, NRP, Department Chair, Weber State University, Ogden UT
Much like that of a computer, the brain has a limited amount of rapidly accessible memory (RAM), and nearly unlimited amounts of permanent memory (hard drive). In the educational environment, cognitive load theory (CLT) refers to the ability of students to acquire and process new information. Often, when the delivery of knowledge is inefficient, the student uses more RAM to process than to learn, often referred to as extraneous load. By understanding the concepts of CLT, educators can more effectively design their curricula such that knowledge is better retained and stored in permanent memory. During this breakout, the presenter discusses the key factors that contribute to improving cognitive load, as well as how to avoid those factors that contribute to extraneous load.
BREAKOUT 2B - DEVELOPING A RESEARCH-ORIENTED CURRICULUM FOR EMS EDUCATION
Elliot Carhart, Ed.D., EMS Performance & Research Coordinator, Pinellas County EMS & Fire, Associate Professor, Jefferson College of Health Sciences, Largo, FL
This presentation will describe the successes, failures, and countless lessons learned when a baccalaureate paramedic program set out to develop a research oriented curriculum. Attendees will be guided through the steps of incorporating research lessons into their own program structure and will be provided with sample assignments and suggested sequencing best suited to inspire future EMS researchers and develop the framework needed for other EMS students and providers to become critical consumers of research. Participants will leave this session equipped to meet the research components of the National EMS Education Agenda.
BREAKOUT 2C - EVALUATING THE AFFECTIVE DOMAIN Sahaj Khalsa, BS, NRP, NM I/C, Santa Fe Community College, Santa Fe, NM
How can we measure the elusive and oft neglected affective domain? Employers often cite soft skills as those new applicants and employees are most lacking. We also know that lawsuits and patient complaints are driven more by poor affective skills than by poor care. This session offers a discussion focused on measuring this important domain with reliability & validity, allowing educators to help their students develop skills employers are looking for.
BREAKOUT 2D - CAAHEP ACCREDITATION UPDATE FOR PARAMEDIC PROGRAMS George W. Hatch, Jr., Ed.D., LP, EMT-P, Executive Director, CoAEMSP
Join the Executive Director of the CoAEMSP to hear what is new in accreditation. Take the opportunity to ask your questions, and hear first-hand from the CoAEMSP issues that will impact you and your students in the coming year.
BREAKOUT 3D - LEARNING HOW TO LEARN
Heather Davis, Ed.D., Paramedic Program Director, UCLA Paramedic Ed Program, Gardena, CA
Just because you teach it, doesn’t mean they learn. That’s because most students don’t know how to learn, especially adult students who have been out of school for a while. A workshop on meaningful learning strategies should be one of the first lessons you teach so that students can immediately put to use techniques for how much information they can retain at once, whether background music will help or hurt their memory, whether a study group will be effective for them, how to remember what they read, and how to take multiple choice exams. This session will give you the content you need to implement this workshop next semester!
HIGHER EDUCATION IN EMS: SAVIOR OR SENSELESS?
BREAKOUT 3A - DEATH OF THE POWERPOINT: ABOUT TIME!
Gary Heigel, Department Chair of Emergency Services, Rogue Community College, White City, OR
It's easy to talk about flipping the classroom, but how do we break away from our tried and true approach and actually change what happens in our classrooms? Classroom dynamics have been studied for decades, but how do the concepts apply in EMS education? EMS instructors are the experts in understanding what actually works with our students, and this highly interactive session will tap into our collective experiences of what works to change the attitudes, behaviors, and performance of your students. You will learn cool tricks and techniques, and even a legitimate reason to throw things at your students!
Arthur Hsieh, MA, NRP, Paramedic Program Director, Santa Rosa Junior College Public Safety Training Center, Sebastopol, CA
The controversy of requiring a postsecondary degree to practice field care has raged on for decades in the United States. While proponents argue for increased respect and higher wages, opponents insist it will destroy EMS systems in their region. We will take a look on both sides of this critical issue and explore the implications for educators and providers alike.
BREAKOUT 3B - THE IBEST EXPERIENCE: GETTING POORLY PREPARED STUDENTS THROUGH THE EMT PROGRAM Sahaj Khalsa, BS, NRP, NM I/C, Santa Fe Community College, Santa Fe, NM
IBEST (Integrating Basic Education and Skills Training) is a national model which is being used to move academically underprepared students to employment quickly. This model has been used successfully around the country, including in EMS programs. This presentation will discuss how Santa Fe Community College was able to move students who didn't meet the requirements for our traditional EMT course to licensure and employment despite their lack of academic credentials. What challenges and successes from this non-traditional program could be applied to our more traditional students? What lessons from this cohort of students impacted and informed traditional cohorts? While the students in this cohort weren't as well prepared as traditional students, they had a 100% first-time pass rate on the NREMT exam. Lessons learned from it are now impacting all our EMT courses. Join us for a discussion of the challenges, lessons learned and how they can be applied to your programs.
BREAKOUT 3C - COGNITIVE STRATEGIES FOR PROMOTING LIFELONG LEARNING IN EMS Elliot Carhart, Ed.D., EMS Performance & Research Coordinator, Pinellas County EMS & Fire, Associate Professor, Jefferson College of Health Sciences, Largo, FL
If you’ve spent any time teaching EMS, you’ve probably heard students argue against a new concept because it doesn’t align with what their book says. Conversely, you might have advised those same students to check their book when searching for an answer. Perhaps you’ve even defended a marginal test question based on the convenient words of an assigned textbook. Where does this leave your students when they graduate? While they have hopefully achieved entry-level competency, are they prepared to continue learning in a constantly evolving profession? We must stop programming our students and instead focus on teaching them to seek out knowledge. In this session, we will identify the role that EMS educators often play in adversely programming our students to think in black and white, and we will identify several strategies for promoting lifelong learning among our students.
David Page, MS, NRP, Director, PCRF at UCLA, Paramedic, Allina Health EMS, Senior Lecturer, Monash University, Minneapolis, MN Co-Presenter: Heather Davis, Ed.D., Paramedic Program Director, UCLA Paramedic Ed Program, Gardena, CA

IN A SCENARIO?
Jon Krohmer, M.D., FACEP, Director, Office of EMS - USDOT NHTSA
This session will showcase abstracts in the category of EMS Education, which have been selected from the Prehospital Care Research Forum’s 2017 Call for Abstracts and were deemed the most notable from all received in the EMS education category. Each oral presentation will be followed by five minutes of questions and answers. There will also be poster presentations in the main hallway of the exhibit area. Please stop by to review what is new in EMS education research.
BREAKOUT 4A - LIGHTNING ROUNDS! Join well-known and respected EMS Instructors for some exciting round-table discussions on such topics as classroom team building, brain-based learning and clinical-based content for updating current cirriculums. Listen to their varied explanations on how each deals with these issues, and then contribute your own ideas and thoughts with a group of other participants. This session represents a great one-on-one opportunity to listen and contribute to fellow EMS educators and their ideas!
BREAKOUT 4B - TEACHER-ASSISTED DEMISE: I BEG YOU TO FAIL ME Jeff Grunow, MSN, NRP, NCEE, Weber State University, Emergency Care & Rescue Dept., Ogden, UT
There are certain students, that no matter what you do to counsel them, appear to desire you fail them. In the news we often read about cop assisted suicide, police assisted suicide, or the more preferred term, “victim-precipitated homicide.” This presentation will draw similar parallels to the victim that wants a police officer to end their human lives with EMS students that want professors to end their academic lives with a failing grade or non-progression grade. Group discussion will be utilized to elicit the early tell-tale signs of this phenomena. Techniques to assist affected students to success will be presented.
BREAKOUT 4C - TEST IS NOT A FOUR-LETTER WORD Bill Young, NRP, Ed.D., Program Director, Eastern Kentucky University, Nicholasville, KY
Okay, maybe it is, but it’s not THAT kind of four-letter word. Some science shows that the more a student is tested, the more he or she learns! Testing does not always have to be formal or high stakes. This session will look at the science supporting the interleaving of testing that leads to increased retention of learning.
BREAKOUT 4D - THE LOST ART OF ASSESSMENT: FOUND IN A SCENARIO?
Donna Speakes, Physican Asst./Paramedic Program Mgr., Fairfax County Fire & Rescue Dept., Fairfax, VA
In this presentation we will discuss ways in which we can help our students, and current providers, find the lost art of assessment, and with that tool, determine and stratify differentials. When did assessment terms like "pertinent positives" and "pertinent negatives" become "bad words” to our students and providers alike? Through the use of simple scenarios we can ensure our students and current providers have a solid understanding of the importance of assessment, both subjective and objective, in determining and stratifying differentials. We will help educators engage their students in simple scenarios that stress the importance of assessment as a foundation for differential diagnosis determination and stratification. This approach to EMS education can be easily applied to multiple venues from initial BLS or ALS certification to continuing education.

BREAKOUT 5A - WHY FAILURE SHOULD ALWAYS BE AN OPTION Bill Young, NRP, Ed.D., Program Director, Eastern Kentucky University, Nicholasville, KY
Western culture looks upon failure as fatal and to be avoided at all costs. As educators, we should embrace and even encourage controlled failures within our students. In doing so the lessons learned move from short term memory into long term memory and assist them in become masters instead of novices.
BREAKOUT 5B - AVIATION IN EMS: CREW RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMES TO SKILL LAB Jeff Grunow, MSN, NRP, NCEE, Weber State University, Emergency Care & Rescue Dept., Ogden, UT
Aviation and EMS. . . are they similar? On first glance one would think not. However, the aviation community has done significant research on human factors that include sleep deficits, channelized attention, task saturation, complacency and habituation. Additionally, today’s aviation crews are schooled in the 7 areas of Crew Resource Management (CRM) that include situational awareness, mission planning, assertiveness, behavior continuums, communication, leadership, and adaptability-flexibility. Strikingly, EMS providers face every one of these situations in the daily course of their jobs. This presentation will draw a remarkable parallel between what the aviation community has already learned and how it can be applied to EMS skill labs.
BREAKOUT 5C - LEARNING TO CONTROL FOR BIAS: TEACHING STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF CLINICAL DECISIONS
Bill Lord, Associate Professor, Paramedic Science, University of the Sunshine Coast Maroochydore, Queensland, Australia
The provision of safe and effective care depends on the students ability to gather information, interpret information, and form an accurate clinical impression. Students must develop proficiency in technical skills as well as non-technical skills such as clinical decision making, which is an integral component of safe practice. However, if students are unaware of the affect that their personal beliefs, values and attitudes may have on the formation of clinical judgments, there is a risk that these attributes may bias and adversely influence the paramedics’ clinical decisions. In addition, current assessment practice may not identify latent biases or dispositions to respond to specific situations that trigger personal belief systems. This session presents several teaching opportunities for engaging students in an analysis of the biases that can affect their clinical and operational decisions.
BREAKOUT 5D - BUILDING A CULTURE OF EVIDENCE AMONG EMS EDUCATORS
Megan Corry, Ed.D., EMTP, City College of San Francisco, San Francisco, CA
We promote and teach the importance of evidence-based EMS practice to our students, but do we practice evidence-based education in our classrooms, labs, and clinical sites? This session reviews the research on teaching techniques that promote success and equity among all of our students, drawing from several areas of educational practice. We will then explore ways to promote a culture of evidence among students and faculty by applying best practices and integrating action research into our teaching practice.
BREAKOUT 6B - SIMULATION EDUCATION ON A BUDGET
Nicholas Miller, MS, NRP, Program Director, Dept. of Paramedicine, Lindenwood University, St. Charles, MO
The NREMT has now mandated that simulation become an important part of paramedic education and testing. The addition of simulation to many programs is challenging due to the expense of adjunct instructors and simulation equipment. Quality simulation does not have be overly expensive. There are many ways that paramedic educators can provide excellent simulation experiences when on a tight budget. This presentation will provide educators with methods and ideas for successfully performing simulation education on a budget.
BREAKOUT 6C - GIRLS CAN’T WHAT? PROMOTING INCLUSIVITY IN PRACTICE AND EDUCATION
Kimberly Altavesta, Program Director, MassBay Community College, Framingham, MA
EMS has long been considered a boys club; but with 30% of the national workforce represented by women, and many professionals identifying as LGBT and people of color, it is critical to promote inclusivity among all providers. Often bias and prejudice are subconscious and do not reflect the intent of providers, educators or student. Sexist or racist statements, hostile body language, and varied expectations occur in classrooms everyday. Prevention of bullying by classmates and educators plays a critical role in these efforts. Likewise, it is critical that educators reflect their experiences, both positive and negative, as women, people of color, or LGBT in order for students to understand the challenges, need for advocacy, and lessons to be learned. It is our hope that by discussing these issues frankly, we can encourage conversation and emerging best practices to develop inclusive and affirming EMS education for all students in order to improve professional practice and support.

David Page, MS, NRP/Director, PCRF at UCLA, Paramedic, Allina Health EMS, Senior Lecturer, Monash University, Minneapolis, MN
Measuring entry-level competence is a challenge that goes beyond cognitive and psychomotor exams. For educators, employers, field training officers and preceptors the decision to pass or fail a student makes or breaks careers. When does a student become a provider? How ready is READY for the streets? This evidence-based presentation will review the current international literature and take a critical look at the EMS community’s expectations of competency.
BREAKOUT 6A - THE POSITIVE IMPACT OF ACCREDITATION ON PARAMEDIC PROGRAMS Severo Rodriguez, Ph.D., NRP, CEO, NREMT, Columbus, OH

There is always something happening at NREMT! Come hear a brief update about the progress being made across the organization. This is also an opportunity to ask questions to NREMT staff.
BREAKOUT 7B - HOW TO PLAN, PREPARE AND DELIVER HIGH VALUE EMS SIMULATION
John Todaro, EMS Faculty/BS, NRP, RN, TNS, NCEE, St. Petersburg College, St. Petersburg, FL
Preparing EMS providers for practice is complicated. Shrinking access to clinical sites, opportunity to practice high-stakes interventions and teamwork skills are just a few challenges where simulation is positively impactful. This presentation will explore tips on planning, facilitating and evaluating simulated patient engagements. Emphasis will be placed on identifying critical gaps in fulfilling curriculum goals, aligning simulation objectives to national standards and developing learners.

BREAKOUT 7C - CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION: THE LATEST THEORY ON IMPROVING THE ACADEMIC ATMOSPHERE
BREAKOUT 8C - USING COGNITIVE MODELS TO DEVELOP HIGH-QUALITY MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
William Robertson, DHSc, MS, NRP, Department Chair, Weber State University, Ogden UT
Kenneth Navarro, Asst. Professor, University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, Hurst, TX
Conflict transformation is a relatively new theory within the broader field of conflict studies. Going beyond conflict management or resolution, conflict transformation is the idea that conflict requires more than compromising or looking for short-term win-win solutions. Instead, it addresses the deeper variables that contribute to conflicts, such as relationships, cultures, previous experiences, and ethnicity. During this breakout, the presenter discusses how the educator can identify the components that contribute to conflict and how they can be used to transform the academic environment into one that is engaging, enlightening, and productive both for the students and the faculty.
For a variety of reasons, educators commonly use the multiple-choice exam format for high-stakes assessment. Unfortunately, the creation of high-quality exam items is both laborious and expensive. One strategy to reduce the effort and expense is to use cognitive modeling as a template for item creation that assesses clinical reasoning skills. This presentation will provide a useful framework for developing cognitive models specific for EMS, which can lead to the creation of high-quality multiple-choice exam items.
BREAKOUT 7D - CASE STUDIES IN CONTINUING EDUCATION Jay Scott, Executive Director, CAPCE, Dallas, TX
EMS providers (EMSP) are required to complete continuing education hours (CEH) in order to maintain their certifications. The Commission on Accreditation for Pre-Hospital Continuing Education (CAPCE) accredits CEH that meet or exceed accreditation standards. CAPCE also keeps and maintains data regarding EMSP CE course completions. This lively interactive lecture will detail several CE case studies detailing common audit requests by State EMS Regulatory Offices. The presenter will discuss the reason for the audit cases and show where the data has supported EMSP application for recertification or where it has exposed creative ways EMSP have tried to circumvent their educational requirements. The presenter will discuss proactive record-keeping strategies that EMSP can use to maintain their certifications.

How to use simulation and stratified debriefing to help close the loop on foundational paramedic education. The basis of the presentation will be how to help students build their Rolodex of experience through active simulation with real-time metrics and hands-on training. This approach to paramedic education can be applied to any EMS classroom ranging from continuing education and staff meetings to medical director QA/QI remediation. We will discuss our success in the entry-level paramedic classroom, QA/QI remediation and agency internship.
BREAKOUT 8B - USING TEAM-BASED LEARNING (TBL) IN EMS EDUCATION
Rick Slaven, Ed.D., NRP, Lincoln Memorial Uni./Debusk College of Osteopathic Medicine, Harrogate, TN
Team Based Learning (TBL) takes on a new way to learn in the classroom. It is particularly effective in health professions education where opportunities to learn and practice problem solving and application of core concepts are critical to students. This session will introduce the concept of team based learning and provide suggestions on how to create an effective team-based environment. With TBL, the majority of the content is covered through individual pre-class study. Students spend class time in active experiential assignments that require them to apply the course content to solve problems and defend solutions.
