Goal Basic EMT Objectives Means of Assessment & Expected Outcomes / Tasks Goal 2 Given a pediatric patient the student will Data will be collect and evaluated of Administer appropriate be able to correctly identify the patient’s the student’s scores on the National emergency medical care based condition, based on the information Registry of EMT Exam the OB/Peds on assessment findings of the obtained from their pediatric patient category. The scores are reported patient's condition assessment. as the student being above passing, near passing or below passing. Given a pediatric patient the student will Data will be collect and evaluated of be able to formulate the correct treatment the student’s scores on the National plan for the pediatric patient Registry of EMT Exam the OB/Peds category. The scores are reported as the student being above passing, near passing or below passing

Goal Basic EMT Results Action & Follow up Goal 2 • Meeting with basic instructors Administer appropriate Fall 09 to review, goals objectives for emergency medical care OB/PEDs performance agreement and to based on assessment N=42 provide consistency between findings of the patient's classes condition Above Passing 57% • Investigate methodologies Near Passing 12% used by instructors Below Passing 31% • Review midterms and finals performance agreement,.

Goal Paramedic Objectives Means of Assessment & Expected Outcomes / Tasks Goal 2 Given a cardiac patient the student Data will be collect and Administer appropriate will be able to correctly identify the evaluated of the student’s emergency medical care patient’s condition based the scores on the National Registry based on assessment information obtained from the of EMT Exam the Cardiology findings of the patient's cardiac patient’s assessment. category. The scores are condition reported as the student being above passing, near passing, or below passing. Given a cardiac patient the student Data will be collect and will be able to formulate the correct evaluated of the student’s treatment plan for the cardiac patient scores on the National Registry of EMT Exam the Cardiology category. The scores are reported as the student being above passing, near passing, or below passing.

Goal Results Action & Follow up Goal 2 • Meeting with Paramedic Administer appropriate Fall 09 instructors to review, goals emergency medical care Cardiology objectives covered for based on assessment N=20 performance agreement and to findings of the patient's Above Passing 55% provide consistency between condition classes Near Passing 10% • Investigate methodologies used Below Passing 35% by instructors • Review assessment tools for performance agreement

Emergency Medical Technology (EMT) Program • New Initiatives – Paramedics • Capstone test given at the beginning of the last semester • Review of goals, objectives and lesson plans starting with 1 st semester with Instructors • Fall 09 required Basic License for Paramedic Program – Basic EMT • Review of goals, objectives and lesson plans with Instructors • Correlation study of past students NREMT exam results and their performance on class exams • Complete analysis of exams for future correlation study, for use of possible cut scores.
