Have you ever taken an ICS course and felt that it somehow fell short of teaching you what you needed to know to manage an EMS incident? Well... this workshop is for you! Just as an ICS trained fire officer can still burn a building down because of poor tactics, pure ICS training for EMS still doesn’t teach a provider HOW to manage a major incident. Before a fire officer can be effective in suppression they take many hours of training in fire strategy and tactics. The EMS command school is focused toward the strategy and tactics around commanding EMS incidents from the two car MVA to major long duration incidents. It is the first in an ongoing series of schools intended to bring focus to issues of strategy and tactics for “the big one”. Using lectures, tabletop exercises, hands on drills and case studies you will learn the essential concepts and skills you need to be effective at EMS command functions

EMS equipment removal training will have a running time of approximately 2 hours with a 45-minute lecture, 45-minute practice, 30-minute wrap up. The purpose of this program is to train EMS on the current Athletic Trainers’ (AT) guidelines for football equipment removal. According to research, “American football is characterized by high impact collisions, leading to the possibility of severe injury – including head or cervical spine injury, cardiac arrest, loss of consciousness, and possible airway obstruction, amongst other pathologies. In the event of injury, protective equipment can pose a barrier to effective emergency care.” ( Wright et. Al) Due to the possibility of severe injury, it is important for EMS personnel serving communities with football programs to have the knowledge on how to handle different types of equipment and removal in diverse injury situations. Research has supported the need for prehospital care teams to be trained in equipment removal. This program would also allow EMS and ATs to work together in the prehospital setting to deliver quality care to the injured athlete. As part of this training session, we will be collecting data from the participants regarding their perceived level of difficulty of the task before and after.
