  • Emergency Medical Services
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Prehospital curriculum development is crucial for emergency medical technician (EMT) and paramedic training.
  • The emergency medical services (EMS) system and educational approaches have evolved significantly.
  • Defining learning as a permanent behavioral change resulting from planned experiences is key.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline essential components of effective prehospital curriculum development.
  • To emphasize the need for structured learning experiences in EMT and paramedic education.
  • To highlight the integration of assessment and psychomotor skill demonstration in prehospital training.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current practices in prehospital education.
