Recognition
of Senior EMS Instructors does two
essential things. First, it
provides a consistent qualification process developed to enhance the
standards of EMS instruction for the State of Washington and to encourage
continuing quality improvement. Second, it protects Senior EMS
Instructors from liability when providing education and training following
the standards adopted by the State of Washington, while performing under the
supervision of a physician certified as Medical Program Director (MPD) or MPD Delegate.
The MPD
oversees the education and training process by approving the initial
training, continuing medical education and the instructional personnel
providing the education and training.
The
Education, Training and Regional Support Section of the Office of Emergency Medical
Services and Trauma System functions as the entity that establishes and maintains the integrity of
EMS education and training. We are expected to ensure the
training provided meets adopted standards so the citizens of Washington have the most reliable and trustworthy emergency care. In order to do this, each EMS provider must not
only meet the minimum initial training requirements, they must also maintain
training and skills through continuing medical education.
The
information that follows will provide guidelines to become
initially qualified as a Senior EMS Instructor, or to meet requirements for
renewal of recognition.
