The resource assessment process can be confusing: what tools to use, when to use them, what to do with the results, and by the way, how does this help my program? Well, resource assessment assists your program more than you might think. Resources necessary for a successful program include faculty, administrative support, curriculum, financial support, workspace, classroom and lab space, clinical and field internship affiliates, equipment, supplies, information technology, and instructional materials. It takes significant resources to build and maintain a successful program. The resource assessment process is one important component when seeking feedback on your program, analyzing your needs, and planning for the future. This session will discuss the resource assessment tools and the process used to capture and analyze the results and use those results as a basis for short- and long-range planning. Resource assessment can be an important strategy to advocate for additional resources your program may need.

Many program sponsors work cooperatively with community partners to pool resources for their Paramedic or AEMT courses. This can include instructional services, space, equipment, or supplies. If this applies to your program, what is your agreement with the community partner? Do you have a written agreement? Who is responsible for the services? What are the lines of authority and reporting? What happens if the partner no longer contributes? Is a satellite location considered outsourcing? What is the CoAEMSP policy for outsourced services? This session will discuss what is included in outsourced resources and examples of partnerships and services that programs may be engaged in.

This presentation explores the challenging issues surrounding death in custody and the safe use of ketamine for chemical restraint. This is one of the most important conversations in EMS today. In the past, deaths in custody were often attributed to “excited delirium,” but this diagnosis has been called into question. Through the lens of Elijah McClain’s death in 2019 and other deaths in custody, we’ll examine the pathophysiology of death in custody and the dangers of prone restraint and positional asphyxia. Several deaths have been reported in connection with the administration of ketamine to patients restrained by police. While recent studies provide evidence that ketamine is safe and effective, we must develop a better understanding of the potential risks associated with ketamine. We must sit down with law enforcement to clarify the roles and responsibilities of EMS providers and law enforcement during these encounters. We must explore the role implicit bias plays in the actions of EMS and law enforcement. We’ll discuss how to protect not only our patients but also our fellow EMS providers and law enforcement colleagues.

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.
