8:00-5:00 NAEMT Geriatric Emergency Medical Services (GEMS)

NAEMT Faculty

The National Association of EMTs has partnered with Jones & Bartlett Learning and the American Geriatrics Society to develop the second edition GEMS course. A team of experienced EMS educators and

clinicians serving as members of NAEMT’s GEMS Committee has designed a course that prepares EMS practitioners to respond to the unique challenges and needs of an older patient.

The course aims to empower practitioners with geriatric specific training to help them improve the medical

outcomes and quality of life for these patients.

The GEMS course is an innovative, comprehensive, and highly interactive 1-day course for both BLS and ALS providers with:

• Case-based lectures

• Live action video • Hands-on skill stations

• Small group scenarios

Have you already had the GEMS provider course and would like to become a GEMS instructor?

You can go to the NAEMT website and take the NAEMT instructor course prior to the conference and we will

allow you attend this course as an instructor and be monitored by a GEMS affiliate faculty.

8:00-3:00

Shannon Watson & Jenny Rieker Understanding what it takes to create a successful Mobile Integrated Healthcare program is half the battle. The development and implementation must be well thought out and evidence based. We want others learn from our

struggles by teaching registrants the key for a successful program. At Christian Hospital EMS, we implemented our

MIH program in February of 2014 and have worked with thousands of patients in our community. We have some great success stories, some awesome lessons learned, and statistically significant outcomes we can’t wait to share.

We also developed our own training program for Advanced Practice Paramedics, and want to provide guidance for

other departments interested in MIH. Lastly, we have developed great relationships in the community and with our

partners like Nursing and Home Health. Key Stakeholders are imperative to ensure the success of your program,

which we will expand on in this course.

4:00 - 6:00 Exhibits/Welcome Reception

Join us in the Exhibit Hall for a welcome reception that includes hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar and a time to mingle

Developing and implementing a successful

Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) Program

March 30th — Conference 7:00-8:00 Registration/Breakfast

8:00-9:15 Opening Keynote

Dan Flynn

I will discuss my own personal achievements and possibly more important, my failures, within my own life and career. It takes perseverance and determination to not allow failure to deter you from trying. Educators have played

an important role in my successes, by never allowing me to believe that my failures define my career, or who I am.

We should never be ashamed, or fearful of failure as it is truly the only feeling that makes us exponentially more

likely to succeed in the future. The feeling when we fail, that emotional destruction, can be very distracting, but if you have felt the euphoria of success, you will always want more.

I - Brain Based Learning: As Simple as 1, 2, 3

Chris Nollette

This lecture revolves around what the current research has to say about stimulating the brain to: memorize at a higher level, store and retain more information, become more motivated and just engage the participant to bring the brain to a new level of awareness in and out of the classroom – thinking for

a change!

At the completion of this lecture:

The participants will value the importance of using brain based learning in the classroom and in

everyday life

The participants will evaluate the strategies that can bring about better retention and motivation to create opportunities for expanded learning.

Rueben Farnsworth You are toned to respond to a local farm for… (Use your imagination and insert your favorite farm trauma

here.) If you want to know more about crazy trauma, look no further. Whether you crave arms wrapped around PTO shafts, or muddy corrals where someone just played chicken with a Brahma bull, this is the class for you.

We will delve into the many unique injuries and mechanisms of injury that occur on the farm and ranch. And

don’t forget scene safety.

M - To Lead or Not to Lead

Shannon Watson

Deciding to be a leader may be a subconscious decision. In EMS, there are a lot of type A personalities who like to take charge. What I’ve learned over the years is leadership is not a position; it’s an action we take and

it can be performed on any level, whether you’re an EMT, Paramedic, or Chief. To inspire others through motivation and influence, we can be good leaders for our department. This session will go over some great

attributes of a leader and help you understand leadership on all levels. It will also teach you how to recognize

leaders within your department, so you can assist in their growth and development. In addition, we will learn

how to be outstanding leaders for our department and some of the common leadership mistakes that can be

made. We will also go over the difference in a manager and a leader, and inspire managers to become leaders.

Chris Nollette

environment and want to truly be more effective in our day-to-day contact as EMS professionals.

EMS education. The participants will conduct a reflective evaluation on how they currently use their labs and clinicals for a results-

endocardial MI, hypertrophy, pericarditis, interventricular conduction delay and many more advanced 12 lead findings.

M - Hiring Right

Peter Callan The most valuable and most expensive asset that any organization holds is its people. Countless studies have shown that

between direct and indirect costs, the cost of losing one employeee equals a year’s salary for that position. Therefore selecting the best people and keeping them makes your lives easier, saves money and enables your organization to fulfill its mission. During this session, you’ll learn about best practices for finding and interacting with candidates, selection and onboarding. You’ll also learn about common mistakes made in the hiring process and how to conduct meaningful interviews. At the end of this session you should have a list of new ideas or approaches to take in your own organization.

I - Using the EDGE Method for Skills Instruction

Shane Lockard

Benjamin Franklin said “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” He was right — the best learning involves doing, and the more the better. The E-D-G-E method is a simple strategy

you can use to structure your instruction so that what you are trying to teach actually gets learned. The Boy

Scouts came up with this great acronym but it has been adopted by many for teaching technical procedures

and skills.

I - Course Planning and Development

Shane Lockard

Many of the decisions affecting the success of a course take place well before the first day of class. Careful planning at the course design stage not only makes teaching easier and more enjoyable, it also facilitates

student learning. Once your course is planned, teaching involves implementing your course design at the student level.

This presentation will guide an instructor through the three phases of course planning and development.

Phase 1 Identify program requirement: What do I need to teach?

• Who needs this training? Who are the students? • What needs to be taught?

Phase 2 Develop a lesson plan: How do I teach it?

Phase 3 Develop the instructional materials : What do I use to teach it?

12:15-1:00 Lunch

1:00-2:15 Closing Session -

Rueben Farnsworth The Field… The very term invokes visions of a mythical realm where student sojourn after school. Paramedic

school prepares you for many things, but it seems they may have left out a few as well. We will talk about all the

things you never knew you would do, from reattaching colostomy bags, to the 400 lb pt. wedged between the toilet and the bathtub in a single wide trailer. This humorous and informative presentation delves into the topics they

don’t cover in school. The good news is…. You’re still in EMS and you wouldn’t want it any other way. It’s not a job,

it’s an adventure.
