Pre-Conference Sessions
Introduction to Grant Writing
This half-day preconference workshop will provide participants an overview of basic building
blocks of successful grant application. Identifying sources of funds, strategies for building
partnerships, and real life examples of grant
applications will be provided. The introductory
session will allow EMS providers to share what
they know and practice what they learn.
Emergency Vehicle Operators
Course (EVOC)
Ambulances were involved in nearly 6,000
crashes in 2008, resulting in more than 30
fatalities and 2,700 injuries. This highly interactive six-hour course adapts National Safety
Council defensive driving techniques to the
unique nature of ambulance work. It trains
drivers to navigate through traffic safely in
both emergency and non-emergency situations. This course promotes critical thinking
during pressure situations.

Bandaging By Bill
Once again bandaging like you never thought
possible. This four hour hands-on session will
allow participants to bandage and splint with
traditional and non-traditional material. There
is always something new!
Please...Not Another Change!
Teaching the New Standards for EMS
Come on, admit it, you liked the old curriculum and really don’t want to change. But
with the new standards that have come out
we must make the change to this new way of
teaching our EMT classes of all levels. In this
8 hour session Kirk and Margaret will take
you through the new standards, what changes
have occurred, where to find teaching resources and how to make your program successful. As always Kirk and Margaret will of course
share a few teaching techniques that will
make your classes fun while making sure your
students are learning the new curriculum. Join
Kirk and Margaret for a fun day of learning a
new way to teach an old topic. Who knows you
might just like the new curriculum and never
want to change again.
ITLS Provider Renewal
This course is designed for the advanced
EMT, paramedic, and trauma nurse who must
initially evaluate and stabilize the trauma patient. Since this is a critical time in the management of these patients, this course is intended to teach the skills necessary for rapid
assessments, resuscitation, packaging, and
transport. It also stresses those conditions
which cannot be stabilized in the field and thus
require immediate transport. It is recognized
that there is more than one acceptable way to
manage most situations and the procedures
described here may be modified by your medical director.
The primary objectives of the course are to
teach you the correct sequence of evaluation
and the techniques of resuscitation and packaging of the patient. You will be given enough
practical training to perform these drills rapidly and efficiently, thus giving your patient the
greatest chance of arriving at the emergency
department in time for definitive care to be
lifesaving.
This is an ITLS provider renewal class, so
you need to be current in your ITLS (or PHTLS)
certification. 8 hours of CE (CECBMS, NSBN
& State EMS) will be granted for this renewal
class.
Pediatric Simulator
This highly interactive scenario based training will provide participants with realistic scenarios using high fidelity pediatric simulators.
Multiple scenarios will be conducted and will
feature a wide range of pediatric emergencies
including both trauma and medical events.
Don’t miss this chance to see how high tech
simulation can help to improve the emergency
care of children. Class size limited so register
early.
Triage – You NEVER Know When
You Will Need It!
It’s a ten car pile-up with multiple patients
– unknown injuries. Where do you start?
What the heck do you do? This class
will review the principles of triage
– the sorting, the tagging. Be
AWARE – there is very little sitting around.
