The needs assessment and gap analysis documents for each level have been posted on the documents page. These have been developed based off of the surveys, focus groups, and correspondence that we have received from stakeholders. As well, the root of the needs assessment comes from the Kansas Scope of Practice document itself.
We continue to value constructive input into this process. Our next step is the development of objectives in preparation to begin writing lesson plans.
In consultation with the Kansas EMS Regions, we are announcing Train-the-Trainer dates for 2010. These training sessions will be for those trainers and educators who will be delivering the transition curriculum. We will post more details about specific locations and times as they become available.
We continue to be in discussion with the Kansas Board of EMS and the Regions about this training and will provide updates as information becomes available.

The people who participated in the Focus Groups and the on-line Surveys asked many questions about the transition process. We have posted a Frequently Asked Questions document that attempts to answer some of these questions. Additionally the document includes a graphic representing the transition process for each current level to the new levels.
The transition surveys are available for you to complete on-line.
Top 6 reasons to complete the Kansas EMS Transition survey:
- It’s your chance to give your thoughts and opinions on the transition items for your level.
- It’s more fun to spend time in air conditioning doing a survey than being outdoors when the Kansas thermometers are heading toward the century mark.
- It’s time to think, reflect, and comment on what you see as needed in the transition training process.
- It’s an opportunity to put your personal touch on the process.
- It’s time well-spent, time that reflects your commitment to Kansas EMS.
- It’s a chance to be the first in your service to have a look at the survey.
As always, we want to hear from you. Go for it!
