We flew the Kansas EMS Transition airplane to Hutchinson for the Region III Train the Trainer class. While most were from Region III, there were several persons from other regions in attendance. It was a great class session with engaged and passionate educators in attendance.

It still seems like a lot of information to distribute over a day and a half, but the feedback we’ve been getting is that people appreciate seeing the materials and engaging in the question and answer component. Not all of the questions have answers yet, but those seem to be coming.

Thanks to Region III EMS and Hutchinson Community College for hosting another great weekend!
… is another frequently asked question. The answer given by the Kansas Board of EMS in August is that any Instructor Coordinator or Training Officer who wishes to coordinate a course must attend one of the training weekends. Note that coordinating a course does not mean teaching the course. It means being responsible for overseeing, coordinating, and managing the course delivery, paperwork, etc.
As the Kansas Transition process moves forward, one of the frequently asked questions is, “Where did this come from?”
The new National EMS Scope of Practice was released in mid-2007. In late 2007, the Kansas Board of EMS established the approach for the Kansas EMS Systems Approach to the Future. Invitations to participate in this group included EMS Regions, EMS and Fire Service professional associations, Community Colleges, and members of the Board of EMS. In the end 37 persons participated in creating the KEMSSAF Scope Document. The KEMSSAF scope represents the combination of the new National Scope of Practice along with Kansas enhancements.
