For AEMT and Paramedic programs accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs and supported by the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions, or those with the CoAEMSP Letter of Review, the progress report is a critical component of the accreditation process. Whether responding to site visit findings, CAAHEP citations, or areas of concern, a well-prepared progress report demonstrates a program’s commitment to compliance, continuous quality improvement, and student success.

This webinar provides a practical, structured approach to developing clear, concise, and effective progress reports. Participants will learn how to interpret accreditation findings, link responses directly to Standards, and provide appropriate evidence that demonstrates sustained compliance. The session will highlight common pitfalls—such as insufficient documentation, lack of data, or incomplete narratives—and offer strategies to avoid them. Through examples and actionable guidance, program leaders will gain confidence in preparing reports that clearly communicate corrective actions and measurable results.

Whether you are preparing your first progress report or refining your approach, this session will help ensure your response is thorough, organized, and aligned with accreditation expectations.

A site visit is a critical milestone in the accreditation process, but it can be approached with clarity and confidence. This webinar provides a practical overview of how to prepare for, navigate, and follow up on a successful visit within the CoAEMSP comprehensive review process and CAAHEP Standards. Participants will gain insight into what site visitors are looking for, how to effectively present evidence of compliance, and how to engage key stakeholders throughout the visit. The session emphasizes turning the site visit into a collaborative, constructive experience that supports program quality and continuous improvement.

Advisory Committees are a standard expectation in AEMT and paramedic education and serve as a vital link between programs and their communities of interest. According to the CAAHEP Standards, the Advisory Committee helps program and sponsor personnel in formulating and periodically revising appropriate goals and learning domains, monitoring needs and expectations, ensuring program responsiveness to change, and reviewing and endorsing required minimum numbers of patient contacts.

In this webinar, we’ll focus on turning Advisory Committee meetings into dynamic, productive conversations rather than simple progress updates. Participants will explore practical ways to plan and conduct meetings that promote meaningful dialogue, encourage active participation, and gather valuable advice that leads to continuous improvement and compliance with accreditation standards.

Designing an effective curriculum is central to the success of AEMT and paramedic education programs and to maintaining compliance with accreditation expectations. Guided by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs Standards and Guidelines, programs must ensure their curricula are coherent, outcomes-driven, and aligned with current professional competencies.

This webinar provides a practical, step-by-step approach to curriculum development for EMS educators. Participants will explore how to translate national standards and competencies into measurable learning outcomes, structure didactic, laboratory, clinical, and field experiences, and implement effective assessment strategies across all domains of learning. Through real-world examples and common challenges, the session will highlight strategies for building a curriculum that is both compliant and adaptable to the evolving demands of EMS education and practice.

Whether you are developing a new program or revising an existing one, this session will offer actionable tools to strengthen curriculum design and enhance student success.

Staying informed on current data and emerging research is essential for AEMT and Paramedic programs striving to meet accreditation expectations and improve student outcomes. This session provides an overview of the most up-to-date national data and research impacting CAAHEP-accredited and CoAEMSP Letter of Review programs.

Participants will explore aggregate outcomes data, including trends in student retention, certification examination success, and positive placement. In addition, the session will highlight findings from recent surveys and ongoing research initiatives that offer insight into program practices, challenges, and opportunities across the EMS education community.

Designed for program directors, faculty, and institutional leaders, this session will translate data into actionable insights. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of national benchmarks, how their program compares, and how to use data to inform decision-making, strengthen program effectiveness, and support continuous quality improvement.

Programs rarely fall out of compliance due to a single issue—more often, patterns emerge in predictable areas. This webinar focuses on the five most common standards where programs struggle within the CoAEMSP comprehensive review process and CAAHEP Standards. Participants will gain practical insight into why these areas present challenges, how non-compliance is identified during the review process, and—most importantly—how to address them early. The session emphasizes proactive strategies, internal monitoring, and sustainable processes that support continuous compliance and strengthen overall program performance.
