1 in 4
students fail the EMT exam on the 1st attempt.*
Feel The Pressure In 2012, the national average first-time pass rate of the EMT exam was 72%. Across the country, pass rates varied from 59% to 84% suggesting the need for instructional consistency in every state. Simulation can help achieve quality education through standardized learning, and ultimately improve pass rates.

WELCOME LETTERS Dear fellow EMS Educators,
The National Association of EMS Educators is celebrating “20 Years of Inspiring and Promoting EMS Education”. Quite the accomplishments; when you think about the fact that NAEMSE’s first budget was developed from donations acquire by passing a hat around a room. We have come such a long way from that humble beginning and the NAEMSE Symposium has been a big part of our mission and growth over the last 20 years. From the magic of Florida to glitter of California, the NAEMSE Symposium has been held all over the country. As members of NAEMSE we have participated in committees, discussion groups, round tables and managed grants that have impacted the very fabric of EMS education. We have enjoyed professional comradery and very lively discussions in meeting rooms, in the halls and lobbies of hotels and yes even in sports bars and restaurants. For 20 years, not only in the United States but around the world NAEME has inspired EMS educators to flip their classroom, turn skills education into real world “smell it”, “feel it”, “do it” simulations, used standardized patients and saved our students from death by PowerPoint. We have been challenged by the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains of learning and we have opened our student’s minds to the wonders of clinical medicine and the healing touch. We have embraced classroom computer projection, whiteboards, audience participation clickers, educational apps and the NAEMSE Trading Post. We have promoted research and pioneered ethics and professionalism in EMS education. We have done all of this and yet we have some much more to offer and so many more students to inspire. The 2015 NAEMSE Symposium is packed full of exceptional opportunities designed to help you inspire your students. On behalf of the 2015 Program Committee, the NAEMSE staff, and the NAEMSE Board of Directors, I invite you to join us in celebrating “20 Years of Inspiring and Promoting EMS Education” at the 20th Anniversary NAEMSE Symposium in Nashville, Tennessee.

Room Rates
To reserve your room and receive the special conference rate, call 1 (800) 843-6664 or visit http://www.omnihotels.com/hotels/nashville/ meetings/national-ems-educators-2015 NAME OF ROOM BLOCK: NAEMSE
“
“
It’s important because of the contractual obligation NAEMSE has with the hotel to ensure enough rooms are available to our attendees at a negotiated rate lower than the average tourist or traveler could obtain. Contracting with the hotel for a specified number or “block” of rooms allows NAEMSE to secure properties that provide a conference center and amenities with value that is consistent with the preferences of our membership. When attendees book “outside of the block” this can create room surpluses at the contracted property. When a surplus at the hotel reaches amounts beyond what is negotiated, NAEMSE must pay an attrition charge to the hotel for the rooms lost to other hotels. When NAEMSE is searching for a future city to hold a meeting or conference, a city can review the past occupancy history, which is recorded much in the same way the activity is recorded on your credit report. The better NAEMSE’s performance is in fulfilling the agreed-upon hotel requirements, the better negotiating power we have as an association with the properties and city with which we do business. By booking your hotel room with the hotel before the cutoff deadline, you have the best opportunity to maximize your conference dollars and ensure that NAEMSE maintains its bargaining edge when booking subsequent cities.

BREAKOUT 1A: CoAEMSP: BEST PRACTICES FOR THE ANNUAL REPORT, Field Internship / Preceptor Training & Capstone, Student Competency Evaluation
Presenters: George Hatch, Jr., EdD, EMT-P, LP / Gordon Kokx, PhD(c), NRP / Patricia L. Tritt, MA, RN / Douglas York, NREMT-P / Joseph Mistovich, MEd, NREMT-P / Jennifer Anderson Warwick, MA / Deb Cason, RN, MS, EMT-P
Through group analysis and discussion of several case studies, this interactive session will provide program directors the opportunity to consider some common problems and solutions in meeting the CAAHEP Standards. This session will explore the ANNUAL REPORT: Meeting thresholds and developing action plans; FIELD INTERNSHIP: Training preceptors and creating a capstone experience; and STUDENT COMPETENCY: Evaluation. Participants will share their best practices, experiences, and lessons learned in meeting these common standards challenges. Come to find solutions and meet some new colleagues along the way!
Does excellent performance in EMS care translate into excellence in instruction? The skills required to be an effective instructor are similar but also different than those required in the field. Instructional skills, like most skills, can be developed and improved with attention and effort. Good communication is at the heart of teaching, just as it is in good patient care, but the focus is different, as is the way we measure our outcomes. This presentation will identify similarities and differences, as well as provide suggestions for maximizing effectiveness in this transition.
BREAKOUT 1C: THE SEQUENCE OF SIMULATION Presenter: Dennis Edgerly, BS, EMTP, HealthONE EMS, Littleton, CO
Scenarios and simulations are common place in EMS education. Schools use everything from the kid next door to expensive manikins to create simulated events. As educators we should be attentive to what is being offered to our students. Each experience will show how a student responds and reacts to their next experience. It may be possible that an experience, or in this case simulation, may have a negative effect on a student’s learning and growth. It is not about exposing students to a ‘cool call’ but rather focusing on the experience we want to create.
BREAKOUT 1D: ARE THEY READY FOR FIELD INTERNSHIP? Summative Simulation Evaluation
Presenter: Chris Sharpe, RN, BSN, CEN, SPEN, MICP, NRP, NCEE, Virtua EMS, Mt. Laurel, NJ
How do you know if your students are ready for field internship? This presentation will help you evaluate a student’s individual field-readiness. This process was born out of a concern for the current field student’s lack of knowledge for protocols and medications. You will learn how to evaluate your students by placing them in a simulation as a team leader that requires them to apply three learning domains. Cognitively, they are evaluated for their baseline knowledge of protocols/standing orders. The psychomotor skills of their team members are assessed, but the team leader (candidate) must ensure their completion/success. Finally, the candidate’s affective domain is evaluated on their interaction with team members and role players such as BLS providers, family members, agitators or law enforcement. This process has been a successful tool in evaluating a student’s readiness for the field as an entry level field intern with protocol/standing order and medication knowledge.

Tritt, MA, RN / Douglas York, NREMT-P / Joseph Mistovich, MEd, NREMT-P / Jennifer Anderson Warwick, MA / Deb Cason, RN, MS, EMT-P
Annual Reports (AR) are required of all CAAHEP accredited programs and provide a snapshot of trends in annual enrollment, national or state certification rates, attrition, retention, and evaluation by graduates and employers. In addition, programs must include a brief action plan for each area. Completing the AR often raises questions for the new program director and this presentation will provide tips on the most frequently asked questions. In addition, programs not meeting the established Thresholds in these five areas must submit a detailed Standard Progress Report (SPR) and are required to analyze the issues and formulate an action plan for areas falling below the Threshold. This session will also provide suggestions on how to address deficiencies and what to include in the action plan.
BREAKOUT 3B: CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUES: Determining if Your Students Are on Track for Point Z Presenter: Kelly Lombardi, Paramedic, Eagle County Paramedic Services, Eagle, CO
Too often there are gaps between what was taught and what was learned in a classroom. Unfortunately, by the time the instructor realizes the gap it may be too late. Classroom assessment techniques (CATs) are methods that can be used to measure student progress between points A and Z. This session will provide instruction on implementing CATs to assess learning in course related knowledge and skills; student attitudes, values, and self-awareness; and student reactions to instruction. Participants will walk away with easy-to-use techniques for their classroom.
Presenter: Andrew Spain, MA, EMT-P, NCEE, Director of Accreditation and Certification Society for Simulation in Healthcare, Columbia, MO Co-Presenter: Jennifer McCarthy, Associate Professor, Bergen Comm. College, West Lyndhurst, NJ Co-Presenter: Timothy Whitaker, CHSE, Clinical Educator, CAE Healthcare, Sarasota, FL
BREAKOUT 3C: HOW DID YOU DO THAT? The Ins and Outs of Building a Simulation Center
Experts from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare will focus on the educational design principles that are fundamental in designing quality healthcare simulation activities. While many EMS Educators know how to design educational activities, these design principles are sometimes difficult to cross over to the design of healthcare simulation activities. This session will walk-through the educational design process and apply it to designing healthcare simulation activities for all levels of EMS learners and providers.
EMS has been using medical simulation for decades to educate providers and prepare graduates for the rigorous pre-hospital work environment. If you have an interest in taking your medical simulation to the next level, this session will provide an overview about effective design and development of an EMS simulation center, while sharing important lessons learned.

BREAKOUT 6A: VICARIOUS SIMULATION: A MEDICAL SCHOOL MODEL Presenter: Rick Slaven, MPS, CCEMTP, NREMTP, (EdD candidate), DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine, Lincoln Memorial University, Harrogate, TN
Experiential learning theory stresses the primacy of personal experience and the literature suggests that direct clinical experience is required in order for learning to take place. However, raw or first-hand experience may not be the only mechanisms by which students engage in experiential learning. There is a growing body of literature within higher education which suggests that students can use another's experience to learn: vicarious learning. This presentation highlights one medical school's successful experience with vicarious learning. For EMS education, this model could allow every student to share a SIM experience vicariously so that no student is "waiting their turn."
BREAKOUT 6B: EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY: Enhanced Case-Based Learning Presenter: Rob Theriault, BHSc., EMCA, RCT (Adv.), CCP(F); Professor, Paramedic Programs Georgian College, Barrie, ON
EMS students and providers are being prepared in an increasingly digitized world where electronic documents, bedside diagnostic devices, implanted artificial intelligence, computer to human interfaces and abstraction of “big data” are rapidly becoming commonplace. Not only do they need to be digitally literate to function in the field, but can benefit greatly by leveraging educational technologies for group work in the classroom to augment their learning. Combining case-based learning with educational technologies has the potential to revolutionize how students learn.
BREAKOUT 6C: THE COMPUTER IN YOUR STUDENT’S POCKET
Presenter: Bill Young, NRP, Assistant Professor, Eastern Kentucky University, Nicholasville, KY
Does your school ban phones in the classroom? Why? Computers are encouraged for use in the classroom, so why not use the one your students have in their pocket or purse? This session takes a look at the incredible opportunities for the use of smartphones in the classroom with no cost to the educator or their facility.
BREAKOUT 6D: DEMYSTIFYING THE ELUSIVE AND MAGICAL CLINICAL EXPERIENCE Presenter: David Page, Faculty, EMS Department, Inver Hills Community College/ Allina EMS, St. Paul MN
Hospital Clinicals and Field internship learning experiences are one of the best places for students to learn. This evidence-based session will highlight the current research and summarize best practices for Hospital Clinicals and Field internship.
BREAKOUT 6E: RESEARCH IN THE EMS CLASSROOM
Presenter: Sahaj Khalsa, BS, NRP, NM I/C Program Director, Santa Fe Community College EMSI Santa Fe, NM
National EMS Education standards require that EMS providers, at all levels, are able to understand research. For many EMS educators, this is a difficult topic to teach. This session will demystify research, revealing that it is easy, friendly and actually fun to teach!

We live in an age that requires the use of technology for the effective delivery of educational components, yet resources are often limited. This session will examine and identify those resources that educators can find and use at little or no cost.
BREAKOUT 7D: TEACHING TEAMWORK IN THE CLASSROOM Presenter: Richard Beebe, MS, RN, NRP, Owner, MedicThink LLC, Albany, NY
We practice as a team in the field, therefore shouldn’t we learn together as a team? This session will discuss techniques that can be applied in the classroom, and will include topics such as crew resource management, team training and the value of teamwork while training in simulation.
