PALOMAR COLLEGE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS – PROGRAM REVIEW AND PLANNING
YEAR TWO UPDATE – 2015-16
Discipline: Emergency Medical Education
Date: 12/12/2015
Instructional Discipline Reviewed (Each discipline is required to complete a Program Review.)
DEFINITION
Program Review and Planning is the means by which faculty, staff, and/or administrators complete a self-evaluation of an academic discipline, program, or
service. The self-evaluation includes an analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data on how the academic discipline, program, or service is supporting the
mission and strategic planning of Palomar College in meeting the educational and career interests of students. Through the review of and reflection on key
program elements, such as program data and student learning outcomes, Program Review and Planning defines the curriculum changes, staffing levels, activities,
and/or strategies necessary to continue to improve the academic discipline, program, or service in support of student success. The Program Review and Planning
process also ensures short-term and long-term planning and identification of the resources necessary to implement identified goals and priorities.
Purpose of Program Review and Planning:
Program Review and Planning for Years 2 and 3 provides a “check-in” on the Year 1 Comprehensive PRP. The PRP documents the vision and planning for a
program or discipline. It also provides information for the development of the College’s Strategic Plan goals and annual objectives, documents overarching
themes/issues occurring across academic programs and instruction, identifies the needs for resource allocations, and identifies department needs for developing
the annual Staffing Plan update.
Palomar College Mission
Our mission is to provide an engaging teaching and learning environment for students of diverse origins, experiences, needs, abilities, and goals. As a
comprehensive community college, we support and encourage students who are pursuing transfer-readiness, general education, basic skills, career and technical
training, aesthetic and cultural enrichment, and lifelong education. We are committed to helping our students achieve the learning outcomes necessary to
contribute as individuals and global citizens living responsibly, effectively, and creatively in an interdependent and ever-changing world.
List everyone who participated in completing this Program Review and Planning Document.

YEAR TWO UPDATE – 2015-16
STEP I. Evaluation of Program & SLOAC Data. In this section, examine and analyze updated program data, the results
of SLOACs, and other factors that could influence your program/discipline’s plans for the current year. Consider trends
and any changes in the data as they relate to this year’s analysis.
A. Analysis of Program Data. Review and comment on any significant changes or noted concerns since last year’s PRP.
(For enrollment, WSCH, & FTEF data, use Fall term data only).
 Enrollment, Enrollment Load, WSCH, and FTEF
 Course Success and Retention Rates
 Degrees and Certifications
Per the 2014-2015 statistics, our enrollment appears to have shown a decrease of about 8% for Fall. WSCH and FTES are both
down 8%. FTEF is also down 1%. If you look at the Spring (down 3%) and Summer (up 25%) enrollments were much better. We
believe part of the reason for the decline was due to the start-up enrollments of our Camp Pendleton EMT classes . We now have
waiting lists for the classes and expect this to be a new and growing enrollment population. One other section in our department
was the EME 116 (EMT refresher) which hurt us with an enrollment of 11 and a cap of 32 seats. We will be changing the cap level
of this class. Also looking at enrollment we saw a gradual improvment in night classes and a slight drop in day class enrollment.
Retention levels have remained about the same as the previous year at 98.1%. Success rates were down 2% and we are in the
process of creating a Bridge Program for EME and Nursing students using grant money. This projected start date is approximately
the fall of 2016. Our paramedic classes are very popular and always fill the positions. Paramedic Prep is also usually a full class.
B. SLOACs. Using the comprehensive SLOAC reports and faculty discussions as a guide, summarize your planned SLOAC activities for
courses and programs for the current academic year. Link to SLOAC resources:
http://www2.palomar.edu/pages/sloresources/programreview/
In response to last years goals, all course and program SLO’s are up to date and as a faculty, we have decided to assess every course
and program SLO on an annual basis rather than every three years. An annual assessment is necessary to identify positive and
negative trends in student success and make appropriate adjustments to curriculum. We have developed and implemented an EME
100 Hybrid course that is scheduled for the Fast Track 2 session Spring 2016. The TCCC course has been implemented and will go
live on a consistant basis beginning in January 2016.

PALOMAR COLLEGE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS – PROGRAM REVIEW AND PLANNING
YEAR TWO UPDATE – 2015-16
Over the past year we have noticed an increase in the attrition rate with the EMT and paramedic class. We are looking at possible
causes for the decrease. While it is a slight decrease in success rate, our success rates of 85% of the students who successfully
completed the EMT course and 95% of the Paramedic students who successfully completed the paramedic program went on to pass
the National Registry Cognitive Exam on the first attempt, is well above the national averages.
Members from the EMS Club will be volunteering to help tutor interested EMT students in the spring. We will also be utilizing our
Paramedic Program mentors on a regular and more regimented basis. We are hoping to obtain funds to pay skills faculty for
tutoring of paramedic students. Students have been requesting tudoring time with simulations and skills. We would like to add a
person, similar to Nursing that works as a Lab Coordinator/Student Success Advisor who works approximately 18 hours a week and
is paid out of their Retention, Assessment, and Recruitment Grant.
We are also studying the entrance requirements to our program and trying to identify how we can do a better job of identifying
students that are better prepared for the pace of the courses, in particular the Paramedic Program. As mentioned above, EME and
Nursing received a grant to create non-credit, self enrollment courses in subject areas that students struggle with the most. We
project this to be implemented in the Fall of 2016 and will track the impact this has on our success and retention rates.
C. Other Relevant Data and Information.
1. Review other data and/or information that you included in last year’s assessment of your program (see Step II.C). (Examples of
other data and factors include, but are not limited to: external accreditation requirements, State and Federal legislation, fouryear institution directions, technology, equipment, budget, professional development opportunities). Describe other data
and/or information that you have considered as part of the assessment of your program. If there is additional information you
are using to assess your program this year, also describe that information here.
Our program is accredited by the Committee on Accreditation for Emergency Medical Services Professionals/Commission of
Accreditation of Allied Health Educational Programs. We received our re-accreditation notice as of May 15, 2015. The site visit
committee was impressed with our program, facility, and faculty. Their standards are integrated into our curriculum and operational
procedures. Our students are required to take a national exam in order to become a nationally registered EMT or Paramedic. The
pass rates of this exam are the benchmark of our educational process. Our pass rates at both the EMT and Paramedic levels remain
in the top 10% in both state and national levels.

2. Given this updated information, how are your current and future students impacted by your program and planning activities?
Note: Analysis of data is based on both quantitative (e.g., numbers, rates, estimates, results from classroom surveys) and
qualitative (e.g., advisory group minutes, observations, changes in legislation, focus groups, expert opinion) information.
We continue to evaluate our pass rates not only of the entire program but of all the phases leading up to successful completion. We
have found that more of our students are coming into our programs while working a full time schedule. This has created some
issues with student attendance, and scheduling as well as performance. A few of our paramedic students work a 40 hour week and
come into Paramedic class after they have just completed a 24 hour shift! We are looking into the possibility of moving to a 3 day a
week program and extending the time by a semester. While most students we surveyed after graduation did not like the idea of the
extension, students who were currently in the class thought it was a good idea. We continue to prepare and evaluate our students on
their national exams as well as their skills performances with the use of the online programs such as My Brady Lab and the skills
tracker, FISDAP. We are working with National Registry representatives on creating the new Skills Portfolio which will be
required of all students who begin on or after August of 2016.
D. Labor Market Data. For Career/Technical disciplines only, review and comment on any significant changes or concerns since last
year’s PRP. (See Step II.D). This data is be found on the CA Employment Development website at
http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/. Go here and search on Labor Market Information for Educators and Trainers
(http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/Content.asp?pageid=112). Click on summary data profile on right side of page to search
by occupation. (Check other reliable industry or government sources on Labor Market Data websites that support findings and are
relevant to Region Ten – San Diego/Imperial Counties. Include job projections and trends that may influence major curriculum
revisions.)
The Labor Market Projections for San Diego County EMT/Paramedic shows a job projection rise of 8% to the year 2022 (120
positions). The job projection for the State of California shows a projection of 23.2% (850 positions) over that same period of time.
Job projections in counties in California which employ many of our students show favorable projections as well (Orange
County=33%, LA County=19.8%, Inland Empire=23% and Imperial County=12.5%). The actual numbers of positions according to
our Fire Chiefs Section are much higher with San Diego Fire alone requestion 130 positions. Local private agencies are also in
desperate need of paramedics and have actually come into our classes to recruit our students. There are no curriculum changes in
the forcast, however due to downsizing of our military we are seeing a large need for basic classes there as well as possible bridge
class for the military paramedic to civilian paramedic. We have forged strong relationships with our local military partners and
have begun to offer our EME 106 (Emergency Medical Technician) and EME 100 Hybrid (Emergency First Responder) at Camp

Pendleton. With California beginning to offer 4 year degrees at the Community College level we are hoping that we can soon
include this in our curriculum, as the local Fire Departments are expecting a more robust educational background at hiring.
STEP II. Progress on Previous Year’s Goals and Plans (See ”Step III - Updated Goals and Plans” in your completed
2014-15 PRP at http://www.palomar.edu/irp/PRPCollection.htm).

the impact on resources allocated and utilized;
any new developments or concerns that are affecting the program;
any new goals for the program; and
other information you would like to share.
Goal one: Continued development of Tactical Combat Casualty Care/Law Enforcement First Responder program , instructor
development and achieving TCCC Training Site status. As of 2015, we have been designated as a TCCC Training Site by the
National Association of EMT’s (NAEMT). Pete Ordille has also received training and certifications as an Instructor, Course
Coordinator and Affiliate Faculty in Tactical Combat Casuatly Care and Law Enforcement First Responder. We have been doing
well with instructor development and now have 7 of our staff who are certified as instructors. We have two more people who have
a portion of their training left to complete. We anticipate they will be finished in January 2016. We have been teaching classes
throughout the State of California for Steve Bristow, the Director of TCCC in California and have monthly schedule ready to go for
all of 2016! We have a very good group of instructors with a lot of experience in the tactical environment. In regards to equipment,
we did receive our TCCC Modulars and Blood Pumps . We put into a Foundation Grant a request for a Cut Suit and have some
funds left for further instructor development we plan to use for Active Shooter Train the Trainer Courses for instructors.
Goal two: Continue partnership with local military agencies. We have been offering EME 106 (EMT) classes both at the Wounded
Warrior Battalion and Naval Medical Center Camp Pendleton. This has really started to gain momentum and have a waiting list of
15 for our Spring 2016 class at NMCCP! We are also working closely with Amanda Etter (Wounded Warrior Education

Coordinator), Ryan Williams, and the Camp Pendleton Transition Team on working with providing quicker pathways to
employment for our service members who are leaving the military. We are currently working on a 4 week tranisition program for
our military EMT graduates that will help this process. We would like to gain access to funds for tutoring and the administrative
cost of this program.
Goal three: Replace student computers that continue to fail during testing. This is one area where we have made no progress. We
put in for new computers for our students. All EMT and Paramedic students take their exams on Blackboard. The computers are
out dated and routinely fail during the exams. We did not receive money for this at either PRP or Perkins and the problem has just
gotten worse.
Goal four: Room usage. We are still looking for ways to improve our goal of improving our simulator lab, identified on an earlier
PRP. We need space for the manniquins and for more storage. We have received two SIM Juniors and Go Pros for the lab all of
which have been utilized. We were working with our Center Operations Manager on a possible remodel of an used section to make
room for a computer lab. The cost for the construction was approximately &10,000. The other cost would be for the wiring and
purchase of 30 new computers.
New Goals and Concerns:
Goal one: Update and Upgrade Equipment. Much of our equipment is becoming outdated and needs replacement. We need to
have equipment that is currently being used in the field so that students are properly trained and tested before working on real
people.
Goal two: We are finding that the budget offered is not enough to cover our general operating expenses. At the recommendation of
our CTEE Dean, we are looking to improve our budget by requesting for better funding of our general operating expenses.
Goal three: Generate funds to hire instructors to tutor our students at all levels of instruction (EME 100 through Paramedic) . We
are seeing a decline in success rates of students particularly of those students taking the night sessions of EME 100 and EMT 106.

The Paramedic students appear to be struggling with field related tasks such as skills and patient assessments. We are requesting
funding for tutoring and believe this will really help with the development of our students skills sets in all phases of performance.
Goal four: Further develop our programs offered at Camp Pendleton including EME 100 Hybrid Course, EME 106 and 106L
(EMT), and the development of a Paramedic Bridge/Transition Course. Improve our marketing strategy at Camp Pendleton as well
as work to improve student services to our military students at Camp Pendleton, that is at leaset equal to those services offered at the
Escondido Campus.
Goal five: Develop an online or hybrid Paramedic Refresher Course. This would be very popular since it would allow the
practicing paramedic the ability to do a large portion, if not all of the material, online. We also would like to continue to increase
our recertification specialty classes (PHTLS, ACLS, PEPP) offered to our community. We simply do not have the full time staffing
to do that yet. We anticipate hiring a new full time faculty member who should be starting in Fall of 2016.
Goal six: Update instructor resources and materials for new American Heart Association 2015 Updates, and ensure instructors
remain current in policies and protocols, and testing processes.
Goal seven: Replace student computers that continue to fail during testing. This is one area where we have made no progress. We
put in for new computers for our students. All EMT and Paramedic students take their exams on Blackboard. The computers are
out dated and routinely fail during the exams. We did not receive money for this at either PRP or Perkins and the problem has just
gotten worse. We were told at the Perkins meeting last year we could have another departments fairly new computers since they
were getting new computers. We withdrew the request and then were told a month later they had been given to another department.
Some of our computers simply do not work any more. We are looking at identifying funds to allow us to become a Pearson Vue
Computer Testing Center. All EMT students and Paramedic students must take their cognitive exam at a secure Pearson Vue
Testing Center. This would allow us to regulate the testing of our students as well as offer this to students from anywhere in the
country who want to take any of the offered tests (Nursing, Paramedic, EMT, and over 30 others
Goal eight: Research local high schools that may not have agreements with us to help develop the EME 100 classes for their
schools.

We have seen a decline in student success over the last year and
believe that by providing our students with tutors for skills and
didactic material would be extremely beneficial for our students at
the EME 100, EME 106 and Paramedic levels at the Escondido and
Camp Pendleton Facilities and help to improve our success rates in
all of our programs.

STEP IV. Prioritize Resource Requests. Now that you have completed Step III, prioritize all of your resource requests
as one group; not prioritized within each budget category. This means you could have your #1 priority in technology, your
#2 priority in short-term hourly, and your #3 priority in equipment, etc. If you actually have five (5) requests in each of the
six (6) budget categories, you would end up with 30 prioritized requests. IPC will not consider requests that are not
prioritized. Note that all funding allocated by IPC is one-time and must be spent within the defined timeline.

Zoll EKG
Monitor

Goal 1
1.3
Our EKG monitors are almost 15 years old and continually have
performance issues during simulations, particularly when using
with the high fidelity monitors. The technology has changed and
the features are much different than what the students are now
seeing in the field. In order to provide appropriate learning
opportunities for our students we need to have appropriate and
current equipment.

This equipment is needed because it is no longer usable or are
items that we currently do not have. CPR and Airway Mannequins,
IV Arms, Multi-Casualty Kit, Intubation Kits, Gear Bags, SAM Pelvic
Slings, C-Spine Straps. We can no longer train with sub-par
equipment and the equipment is needed to help ensure we are
offering our students the most current training and equipment. In
order to provide appropriate learning opportunities for our students
we need to have appropriate and current supplies and equipment.
This is also a safety issue for our students. (individual breakdown
of equipment costs can be provided)
We continue to have ongoing issues with our laptops during
student testing. All of our testing at both the EMT and paramedic
level (over 200 students per semester) are done on blackboard. We
use this for better student feedback, accreditation required item
analysis/test writing, and most important, to prepare the student for
national testing. Due to our continued diligence on this we have
>95% pass rate. Several of our student computers are no longer
functioning and need to be replaced as we are running short on
computers in the classrooms.

Due to changes in costs over the years, we can longer operate with
the limited budget and was recommended that we put in for this
money to help us make it through the year without operating in a
deficit in general operating expenses.
These are needed and required for instructors to be able to teach to
the new 2015 Updated Protocols and Guidelines. These classes are
required for graduation. These instructor provide the instructors
with all the needed materials to teach the Advanced Cardiac Life
Support Courses.

Our department is requesting two Apple IMAC Computers to
replace our current Dells that are due to be replaced in this year’s
rotation (per David). Two out of the three full time faculty are
unable to print student tests, retakes and perform certain item
analysis using the Dell.

Goal 6
4.3
In order to meet the goal of student learning, faculty must be
current on the latest updates/changes in the local, state, and
national levels; as well as maintaining accreditation standards.
These meeting/programs allow the instructors to network at the
local, state, national and international levels, but more important, to
remain current and be part of the changes necessary in the
discipline.

In order to meet the goal of student learning faculty must be current
on the latest updates and changes in the local, state and national
levels. These meetings and programs not only allow the
instructors to network, but more importantlt, to be a part of the
EMS research community as required by accreditation. Fisdap is
recognized by CoAEMSP as one of the leading tools in tracking
student skills performance as well as research on predicting
student performance. These summits allow our staff to perform
research of our choice under the guidance of Fisdap ressearch
specialists.
