This study introduces a new training program using mannequin simulators to improve emergency medical technician (EMT) training. It addresses the need for better curricula, skills, and performance feedback for first responders.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Emergency Medical Services Training
  • Simulation Technology

Background:

  • Limited curricula infrastructure hinders simulator use in Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) training.
  • Lack of expertise and standardized measures impede effective simulator-based programs.
  • Need for valid, meaningful scenarios applicable across various EMT skill levels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a comprehensive training program for first responders utilizing mannequin-based simulator technology.
  • To address the identified gap in EMT training curricula by integrating skills, scenarios, and performance measures.
  • To create adaptable training scenarios for diverse EMT skill levels.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel training program for first responders.
