Teaching Resource for Instructors in Prehospital Pediatrics for EMTs (TRIPP BLS) {aka NYC EMSC - Pediatric Teaching Resource}

Oct. 1, 1994 - Sept. 30, 1997

Grant Number
MCJ-364004
Project Overview
The known problems of training prehospital personnel to care for children have been outlined in the Institute of Medicine report. Many of these problems are addressed in the new Emergency Medical Technician Basic (EMT-B): National Standard Curriculum. However, the leaders in emergency medical services (EMS) education recognize that EMS instructors do not currently have knowledge, clinical experience, or educational resources to adequately teach the entire new pediatric content. The goals of this project are to (1) create an educational resource that will enable emergency medical technician (EMT) instructors to effectively teach the pediatric portions of the new EMT-B curriculum; and (2) evaluate IRTPP effectiveness in enhancing the EMT instructors' ability to teach the new EMT-B curriculum.
