Transition Materials
- Anticipated Production Schedules for EMS Textbooks and Materials
- Implementation Timeline - Because implementation of the National EMS Education Agenda will require a multifaceted, multidisciplinary approach by a variety of EMS stakeholders, the National Association of State EMS Officials (NASEMSO) has created this “Timeline” to illustrate the complexities of implementing the Education Agenda. It represents several milestones for implementation and identifies EMS stakeholders that have expressed an interest in participating in a range of implementation activities with a time-oriented goal for achieving them. This chart does not represent an exclusive list and additional objectives will be added as they are identified. Individual states retain the authority to determine their level of participation.
- 2009 National EMS Education Standards Gap Analysis Template - This Gap Analysis is intended for use by States, educators and others as they begin to define the specifics of what will be different at the state and local level between current EMS education delivery and future EMS education delivery. States will find this useful to consider "gaps" between an existing scope of practice compared to what may be implemented under the new SOP model and the Education Standards. Educators may similarly use this document to begin identifying educational content that will need to be accounted for in the transition of existing EMS personnel as well as the delivery of new programs in the future. Publishers may find it helpful in the development of adjunct material to support the implementation of the Education Agenda.
- Appendix B Skill Comparison Blank Checklist for States in MS Word - This Appendix extracted from the 2009 National EMS Education Standards Gap Analysis Template represents skill components presented in a spreadsheet/checklist format, providing the skill matrix from the National EMS Scope of Practice Model with blank columns for states to establish its own gap analysis.
