FAQ

Q. How do I apply?
A. An application packet must be submitted via email to jennifer@coaemsp.org, and must include ALL of the following:

  • The application form
  • A current CV
  • A letter of support from your employer
  • Two (2) letters of recommendation
  • Acknowledgment of the expectations of a site visitor (found on the last page of the application)

Q. Should the letters of support and recommendation be submitted via email or hard copy?
A. Via email to jennifer@coaemsp.org.

Q. I previously submitted an application to become a site visitor. Do I need to submit another one?
A. Yes.

Q. Why is the applicant responsible for the travel expenses to and from the workshop?
A. Serving as a CAAHEP/CoAEMSP site visitor requires a commitment on behalf of the individual as well as the CoAEMSP. This commitment is one of time (the individual preparing for and conducting site visits), money (CoAEMSP providing the initial training of the individual and continued education), and expertise. Requiring the individual to contribute to the initial training shows a commitment and strong desire to give back to their profession of Paramedic education.

For consideration as a CoAEMSP Team Captain, a site visitor must have two recommendations by current team captains with whom the individual has served. The site visitor will then be contacted to submit the TC Application.
