A well-written syllabus serves as a roadmap for students that details course expectations, requirements for success, and student expectations and responsibilities. The syllabus summarizes course topics and objectives required for successful completion. Think of the syllabus as the ‘CliffsNotes®’ detailing course instruction and instructor information. For some Paramedic programs, the question is often, ‘How many courses and syllabi are appropriate?’ Format, content, and an appropriate number of effective syllabi will be discussed during this session.

CoAEMSP will begin accepting applications for Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) voluntary programmatic accreditation on January 1, 2025.
What can you do now to get ready for the accreditation process?
Do you need more information regarding voluntary accreditation before you can make a decision?
Are you a Program Director who is new to accreditation and wondering where to begin?
Kevin Hazzard is a journalist, TV writer, and former paramedic who has written an essential book – American Sirens – chronicling the often overlooked and unknown origins of the paramedic profession.
The story begins in 1968 when twenty-four Black men in Pittsburgh started a revolution in emergency medicine. They were the first to show that medicine could be practiced in the back of an ambulance … and that lives could be saved by professionalizing medical transport.
They were the world’s first paramedics. And until Kevin’s book, they were largely erased from history.
Join Dr. George Hatch for an intimate conversation with Kevin Hazzard, where they discuss the importance of those early days, including the long odds and fierce opposition the early paramedics faced in the waning years of the civil rights era. And they will consider the implications of our shared history for the future of emergency medicine. This is one webinar you will not want to miss.

Programs should evaluate their services in a variety of ways, obtaining input from multiple sources. Assessment methods include resource assessment tools; regular surveys or evaluations from students; end-of-program evaluations from students; evaluations from students on specific clinical and field internship rotations and preceptors; comments from students, faculty, employers, and Advisory Committee members; CoAEMSP Annual Report; and use of tools such as a SWOT analysis (strength, weaknesses, opportunities, threats). These processes are all part of quality assessment and review and provide the basis for long-range planning. This presentation will review available tools, appropriate intervals, and best practices from participants.
