Feel The Pressure
In 2012, the national average first-time pass rate of the EMT exam was 72%.
Across the country, pass rates varied from 59% to 84% suggesting the need
for instructional consistency in every state. Simulation can help achieve quality
education through standardized learning, and ultimately improve pass rates.

Dear fellow EMS Educators,
The National Association of EMS Educators is celebrating “20 Years of Inspiring and Promoting EMS Education”.
Quite the accomplishments; when you think about the fact that NAEMSE’s first budget was developed from
donations acquire by passing a hat around a room.
We have come such a long way from that humble beginning and the NAEMSE Symposium has been a big part of
our mission and growth over the last 20 years. From the magic of Florida to glitter of California, the NAEMSE
Symposium has been held all over the country.
As members of NAEMSE we have participated in committees, discussion groups, round tables and managed
grants that have impacted the very fabric of EMS education. We have enjoyed professional comradery and very
lively discussions in meeting rooms, in the halls and lobbies of hotels and yes even in sports bars and restaurants.
For 20 years, not only in the United States but around the world NAEME has inspired EMS educators to flip their
classroom, turn skills education into real world “smell it”, “feel it”, “do it” simulations, used standardized patients
and saved our students from death by PowerPoint.
We have been challenged by the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains of learning and we have opened
our student’s minds to the wonders of clinical medicine and the healing touch. We have embraced classroom
computer projection, whiteboards, audience participation clickers, educational apps and the NAEMSE Trading
Post. We have promoted research and pioneered ethics and professionalism in EMS education.
We have done all of this and yet we have some much more to offer and so many more students to inspire. The
2015 NAEMSE Symposium is packed full of exceptional opportunities designed to help you inspire your
students.
On behalf of the 2015 Program Committee, the NAEMSE staff, and the NAEMSE Board of Directors, I invite you to
join us in celebrating “20 Years of Inspiring and Promoting EMS Education” at the 20th Anniversary NAEMSE
Symposium in Nashville, Tennessee.

On behalf of the Tennessee Department of Health, Office of Emergency Medical Service and as
Past President of the Association and Co-Program Chair, I would like to personally welcome
each of you to Nashville, Tennessee and the National Association of Emergency Medical Service
Educators Annual Conference as we celebrate our 20th Anniversary. It is an exciting time for
EMS Educators as we continue to grow and adapt, remaining always motivated and responsive
to our changing profession and the changes in the delivery of EMS education.
EMS is confronting a time of many changes, and we need to be prepared to meet those changes.
The world of EMS Education is an exciting area in which to work/study/play, and we will
continue to meet and bring inspired people together in forums like this, ensuring our EMS
Educator remains at the cutting edge!
We are transforming the delivery of education to continuously improve our ability to” inspire
and promote excellence in EMS education and lifelong learning within the global community”
.
As professionals you have continued to meet the challenges of our field and exceled. We should
all be very proud of where we are today and excited about where we are headed.
THANK YOU for attending the Conference and bringing your expertise to Nashville. You are
truly the profession’s greatest asset today and tomorrow and, without your commitment to
quality EMS Education, we could not accomplish what we do.
Throughout this Conference, I ask you to stay engaged, keeping the Association proactive and
helping the Association shape the future of EMS Education. My personal respect and thanks
goes out to all of you for what you do as EMS Educators.
Thank you for being a part of the Conference and WELCOME to Nashville, Tennessee.

NAME OF ROOM BLOCK: NAEMSE
“
“
It’s important because of the contractual obligation NAEMSE has with the hotel to ensure enough rooms are available to our attendees at
a negotiated rate lower than the average tourist or traveler could obtain. Contracting with the hotel for a specified number or “block” of
rooms allows NAEMSE to secure properties that provide a conference center and amenities with value that is consistent with the
preferences of our membership. When attendees book “outside of the block” this can create room surpluses at the contracted property.
When a surplus at the hotel reaches amounts beyond what is negotiated, NAEMSE must pay an attrition charge to the hotel for the rooms
lost to other hotels. When NAEMSE is searching for a future city to hold a meeting or conference, a city can review the past occupancy
history, which is recorded much in the same way the activity is recorded on your credit report. The better NAEMSE’s performance is in
fulfilling the agreed-upon hotel requirements, the better negotiating power we have as an association with the properties and city with
which we do business. By booking your hotel room with the hotel before the cutoff deadline, you have the best opportunity to maximize
your conference dollars and ensure that NAEMSE maintains its bargaining edge when booking subsequent cities.

Patricia L. Tritt, MA, RN / Douglas York, NREMT-P / Joseph Mistovich, MEd, NREMT-P /
Jennifer Anderson Warwick, MA / Deb Cason, RN, MS, EMT-P
If you have never written an accreditation self-study report, or it has been a while, this session is for you.
The accreditation process begins with careful self-examination of your program: sponsorship, resources,
curriculum, student evaluation, and fair practices. The written self-study report translates the program’s
analysis/description into a format that is reviewed by the CoAEMSP Executive Office, the site visitors and
board members, and provides the basis for evaluation of the program. This session will discuss key steps
and inclusions in the self study process for programs seeking initial or continuing accreditation. The vital
elements of a successful outcome are adherence to the CAAHEP Standards and the interpretations provided
by the CoAEMSP. Key standards and interpretations, and some that are often overlooked, will be highlighted.

Patricia L. Tritt, MA, RN / Douglas York, NREMT-P / Joseph Mistovich, MEd, NREMT-P /
Jennifer Anderson Warwick, MA / Deb Cason, RN, MS, EMT-P
Through group analysis and discussion of several case studies, this
interactive session will provide program directors the opportunity to
consider some common problems and solutions in meeting the CAAHEP
Standards. This session will explore the ANNUAL REPORT: Meeting
thresholds and developing action plans; FIELD INTERNSHIP: Training
preceptors and creating a capstone experience; and STUDENT COMPETENCY: Evaluation. Participants
will share their best practices, experiences, and lessons learned in meeting these common
standards challenges. Come to find solutions and meet some new colleagues along the way!
Does excellent performance in EMS care translate into excellence in instruction? The skills required
to be an effective instructor are similar but also different than those required in the field.
Instructional skills, like most skills, can be developed and improved with attention and effort. Good
communication is at the heart of teaching, just as it is in good patient care, but the focus is
different, as is the way we measure our outcomes. This presentation will identify similarities and
differences, as well as provide suggestions for maximizing effectiveness in this transition.
BREAKOUT 1C: THE SEQUENCE OF SIMULATION
Presenter: Dennis Edgerly, BS, EMTP, HealthONE EMS, Littleton, CO
Scenarios and simulations are common place in EMS education. Schools use everything from the
kid next door to expensive manikins to create simulated events. As educators we should be
attentive to what is being offered to our students. Each experience will show how a student
responds and reacts to their next experience. It may be possible that an experience, or in this case
simulation, may have a negative effect on a student’s learning and growth. It is not about exposing
students to a ‘cool call’ but rather focusing on the experience we want to create.
BREAKOUT 1D: ARE THEY READY FOR FIELD INTERNSHIP?
Summative Simulation Evaluation
Presenter: Chris Sharpe, RN, BSN, CEN, SPEN, MICP, NRP, NCEE, Virtua EMS, Mt. Laurel, NJ
How do you know if your students are ready for field internship? This presentation will help you
evaluate a student’s individual field-readiness. This process was born out of a concern for the
current field student’s lack of knowledge for protocols and medications. You will learn how to
evaluate your students by placing them in a simulation as a team leader that requires them to apply
three learning domains. Cognitively, they are evaluated for their baseline knowledge of protocols/standing orders. The psychomotor skills of their team members are assessed, but the team leader
(candidate) must ensure their completion/success. Finally, the candidate’s affective domain is
evaluated on their interaction with team members and role players such as BLS providers, family
members, agitators or law enforcement. This process has been a successful tool in evaluating a
student’s readiness for the field as an entry level field intern with protocol/standing order and
medication knowledge.

We rely on the field internship as the final phase of training where our students will “put it all
together.” Yet in most programs, this is the time we have the least direct contact with our students
and minimal control over how that education is delivered. This presentation will outline key
components of an effective preceptor training process, describe tools for monitoring student
progress, and provide suggestions for making the most of this critical training phase.

Patricia L. Tritt, MA, RN / Douglas York, NREMT-P / Joseph Mistovich, MEd, NREMT-P /
Jennifer Anderson Warwick, MA / Deb Cason, RN, MS, EMT-P
Annual Reports (AR) are required of all CAAHEP accredited programs and
provide a snapshot of trends in annual enrollment, national or state
certification rates, attrition, retention, and evaluation by graduates and
employers. In addition, programs must include a brief action plan for
each area. Completing the AR often raises questions for the new
program director and this presentation will provide tips on the most frequently asked questions.
In addition, programs not meeting the established Thresholds in these five areas must submit a
detailed Standard Progress Report (SPR) and are required to analyze the issues and formulate an
action plan for areas falling below the Threshold. This session will also provide suggestions on how
to address deficiencies and what to include in the action plan.
BREAKOUT 3B: CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUES:
Determining if Your Students Are on Track for Point Z
Presenter: Kelly Lombardi, Paramedic, Eagle County Paramedic Services, Eagle, CO
Too often there are gaps between what was taught and what was learned in a classroom.
Unfortunately, by the time the instructor realizes the gap it may be too late. Classroom
assessment techniques (CATs) are methods that can be used to measure student progress
between points A and Z. This session will provide instruction on implementing CATs to assess
learning in course related knowledge and skills; student attitudes, values, and self-awareness;
and student reactions to instruction. Participants will walk away with easy-to-use techniques for
their classroom.

BREAKOUT 3C: HOW DID YOU DO THAT?
The Ins and Outs of Building a Simulation Center
Experts from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare will focus on the educational design principles
that are fundamental in designing quality healthcare simulation activities. While many EMS
Educators know how to design educational activities, these design principles are sometimes
difficult to cross over to the design of healthcare simulation activities. This session will
walk-through the educational design process and apply it to designing healthcare simulation
activities for all levels of EMS learners and providers.
EMS has been using medical simulation for decades to educate providers and prepare graduates
for the rigorous pre-hospital work environment. If you have an interest in taking your medical
simulation to the next level, this session will provide an overview about effective design and
development of an EMS simulation center, while sharing important lessons learned.
BREAKOUT 2D: LOST WITH NO MAP?
A Guide to Navigating the World of Program Planning
Presenter: Kelly Lombardi, Paramedic, Eagle County Paramedic Services, Eagle, CO
Have you ever felt like you have little direction in making decisions about planning continuing
medical education? Or, have you felt lost in the maze of tasks, people problems, and political
agendas associated with program planning? If so, this session will provide a guide for navigating
the complex world of educational program planning. Specifically, planners will walk away with a
sense of how to apply the Interactive Model of Program Planning to their continuing educational
programs.

BREAKOUT 3D: THESE NUMBERS AREN’T SO GOOD:
Enhancing First Pass Success with Intubation
Presenter: Chris Sharpe, RN, BSN, CEN, SPEN, MICP, NRP, NCEE, Virtua EMS, Mt. Laurel, NJ
What do you when your service is performing poorly in a critical, potentially life-saving skill?
Intubation is a common tool in the paramedic toolbox. Although it is at times a hot topic as to
whether it belongs in the hands of pre-hospital providers, for those who perform it, success is
critical. This session will provide how an action plan, consisting of both online education and
psychomotor practice, can create a successful outcome.
BREAKOUT 3E: AFFECTIVE: ACADEMIC, NOT PUNITIVE
Presenter: Dennis Edgerly, BS, EMTP, HealthONE EMS, Littleton, CO
As instructors, we commonly assume our students will just know how to behave in the classroom,
lab, hospital, or EMS station. When they do not, we become frustrated. This session will discuss the
importance of teaching and coaching the affective domain and not just punishing students for poor
behavior.

Kansas City, MO
Standardized patients have been used by medical schools for many years to teach assessment and
communication skills. With the increased emphasis on teaching and evaluating the affective
domain, scenario-based education, and testing, standardized patients will be utilized more in the
EMS classroom. This session will provide tips for establishing a standardized patient program,
writing good cases, as well as selecting and training standardized patients.
BREAKOUT 4B: CREATING A PSYCHOMOTOR PORTFOLIO
Presenter: Heather Davis, EdD©, NRP, UCLA Paramedic Education Program, Hawthorne, CA
Accreditation standards suggest programs have a method of documenting developing skills
performance over time as students move from novice to experienced providers. There will be a
time when this portfolio package is required for students to be eligible to sit for exams in the
certification process. This session will help educators understand the contents of a portfolio,
methods of reporting the information, and how to turn the existence of the portfolio from a
paperwork nightmare into something of value for students, medical directors, and employers.
BREAKOUT 4C: 2015 NREMT UPDATE
Presenter: Severno Rodriguez, MS, NREMT-P, LP, AEMCA, Executive Director, NREMT, Columbus, OH
The National Registry of EMTs (NREMT) delivers more than just a test. We
are an active member in the EMS community. Our certification
examinations are the foundation to our organization. They allow us to

BREAKOUT 4D: LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Presenter: Keith Widmeier, BA, NRP, FP-C , University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, OH
Learning Management Systems such as Blackboard and Moodle are commonplace in the academic
setting. However, cost and technical capabilities have made it difficult to integrate them into the
continuing education environment. This session discusses how to overcome some of those barriers,
incorporate online education, and choose the best system for the human and financial resources
needs of the EMS department, large and small.
Presenter: PEPID
Provide valuable feedback by reviewing and offering insights on PEPID EMS Plus NAEMSE application, that is
written and contributed to by NAEMSE. Your feedback will provide valuable insights to make PEPID more valuable
and useful in the EMS classroom and practice. During this session we’ll cover:
1. Technology used by participants in the classroom and in practice
2. Feedback and discussion about what information and technology is effective and important in an EMS setting
3. Review program and identify useful content, and any gaps
4. Discussion of existing information sources and program features

BREAKOUT 5A: PRACTICE LIKE YOU PLAY:
Incorporating Simulation Into Your Education Program
Presenter: Paul Ganss, M.S., NRP, NCEE, CHSE, University of Missouri - Kansas City School of Medicine
Kansas City, MO
Simulation can be a powerful tool to drive home key concepts in your education program. Whether
it's initial or continuing education, a well-crafted simulation scenario can reinforce the lessons
from the classroom in all three domains of learning. Simulation will leave a lasting impression in the
learner's mind when it comes to high-risk, low-frequency events. This session will discuss starting a
simulation program and strategies such as hybrid and inter-professional simulation activities.
BREAKOUT 5B: CREATING A PSYCHOMOTOR PORTFOLIO
Presenter: Heather Davis, EdD©, NRP, UCLA Paramedic Education Program, Hawthorne, CA
Accreditation standards suggest programs have a method of documenting developing skills
performance over time as students move from novice to experienced providers. There will be a
time when this portfolio package is required for students to be eligible to sit for exams in the
certification process. This session will help educators understand the contents of a portfolio,
methods of reporting the information, and how to turn the existence of the portfolio from a
paperwork nightmare into something of value for students, medical directors, and employers.
BREAKOUT 5C: PROBLEM BASED LEARNING:
From Lecturer to Facilitator
Presenter: Keith Widmeier, BA, NRP, FP-C , University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, OH
Problem Based Learning (PBL) is a concept that has been incorporated into medical school and PA
school curriculums for years. PBL curriculums start out day one by presenting students with a
case and allowing them to work their way through the problem. This session helps instructors
step away from the current death by PowerPoint mantra and learn how to allow students to work
through issues on their own, through the utilization of problem based learning.
BREAKOUT 5D: SWEET AND SAVORY ITEM ANALYSIS FOR DUMMIES:
How to Smoke Your Next Site Visitor with a Slow-Cooked, Positive Point Biserial
Presenter: David Page, Faculty, EMS Department, Inver Hills Community College/ Allina EMS, St. Paul MN
This "tells it like it is," non-mathematical, hands-on session will offer simple solutions to assess
the quality of test items. A basic introduction of response processes will expose participants to
frequency distribution, discrimination and difficulty. We will examine actual tests and offer a
support group for anxious educators who fear the point bi-serial boogeyman.
BREAKOUT 5E: WHAT? MY STUDENTS DON’T CHEAT!
Presenter: Rob Wagoner, Senior Director, NREMT, Columbus, OH
Co-Presenter: Debra Cason, RN, MS, EMT-P, Program Director, UTSW, Dallas, TX
THINK AGAIN! If the soon-to-be-healthcare-practitioners cheat in school, you can bet those
behaviors will continue into the workplace. Hear about the prevalence of academic dishonesty in
general, as well as in the health professions. In this session, you will learn about ways students
cheat and how you can deter this unacceptable practice on exams, along with a discussion of
policies that should be in place to protect the integrity of the program and the profession.

BREAKOUT 6A: VICARIOUS SIMULATION: A MEDICAL SCHOOL MODEL
Presenter: Rick Slaven, MPS, CCEMTP, NREMTP, (EdD candidate), DeBusk College of Osteopathic
Medicine, Lincoln Memorial University, Harrogate, TN
Experiential learning theory stresses the primacy of personal experience and the literature
suggests that direct clinical experience is required in order for learning to take place. However,
raw or first-hand experience may not be the only mechanisms by which students engage in
experiential learning. There is a growing body of literature within higher education which suggests
that students can use another's experience to learn: vicarious learning. This presentation
highlights one medical school's successful experience with vicarious learning. For EMS education,
this model could allow every student to share a SIM experience vicariously so that no student is
"waiting their turn."
BREAKOUT 6B: EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY:
Enhanced Case-Based Learning
Presenter: Rob Theriault, BHSc., EMCA, RCT (Adv.), CCP(F); Professor, Paramedic Programs
Georgian College, Barrie, ON
EMS students and providers are being prepared in an increasingly digitized world where electronic
documents, bedside diagnostic devices, implanted artificial intelligence, computer to human
interfaces and abstraction of “big data” are rapidly becoming commonplace. Not only do they need
to be digitally literate to function in the field, but can benefit greatly by leveraging educational
technologies for group work in the classroom to augment their learning. Combining case-based
learning with educational technologies has the potential to revolutionize how students learn.
BREAKOUT 6C: THE COMPUTER IN YOUR STUDENT’S POCKET
Presenter: Bill Young, NRP, Assistant Professor, Eastern Kentucky University, Nicholasville, KY
Does your school ban phones in the classroom? Why? Computers are encouraged for use in the
classroom, so why not use the one your students have in their pocket or purse? This session takes
a look at the incredible opportunities for the use of smartphones in the classroom with no cost to
the educator or their facility.
BREAKOUT 6D: DEMYSTIFYING THE ELUSIVE AND MAGICAL
CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
Presenter: David Page, Faculty, EMS Department, Inver Hills Community College/ Allina EMS, St. Paul MN
Hospital Clinicals and Field internship learning experiences are one of the best places for students
to learn. This evidence-based session will highlight the current research and summarize best
practices for Hospital Clinicals and Field internship.
BREAKOUT 6E: RESEARCH IN THE EMS CLASSROOM
Presenter: Sahaj Khalsa, BS, NRP, NM I/C Program Director, Santa Fe Community College EMSI
Santa Fe, NM
National EMS Education standards require that EMS providers, at all levels, are able to understand
research. For many EMS educators, this is a difficult topic to teach. This session will demystify
research, revealing that it is easy, friendly and actually fun to teach!

We live in an age that requires the use of technology for the effective delivery of educational
components, yet resources are often limited. This session will examine and identify those
resources that educators can find and use at little or no cost.
BREAKOUT 7D: TEACHING TEAMWORK IN THE CLASSROOM
Presenter: Richard Beebe, MS, RN, NRP, Owner, MedicThink LLC, Albany, NY
We practice as a team in the field, therefore shouldn’t we learn together as a team? This session
