Prehospital Clinical Guidelines: A Tool for Developing Your Curriculum
with Dr. Chrisitan Martin-Gill
Wednesday, May 21, at 1-2 PM Central
Evidence-based guidelines (EBGs), position statements, and many other publications are constantly being produced that provide recommendations for clinical care or operations relevant to EMS medicine. However, the quality of the evidence evaluation and how those recommendations are developed varies substantially. This talk will leverage knowledge gained from three systematic reviews of prehospital EBGs completed by the Prehospital Guidelines Consortium to provide participants with key lessons learned for how to evaluate the quality of recommendation-based publications and how to identify the highest quality guidelines. This session will also review resources available to educate EMS professionals about high quality guidelines and primary research that are being incorporated by the NREMT in continued competency activities.

Rob will share his vision of how XR and AI will reduce teacher workload and enhance performance and safety.
