EMS Instructor's Handbook.
Cockrum, Jim
This handbook is intended to assist instructors of courses in emergency medical services (EMS). Discussed first are the role of the EMS instructor and EMS training. The second chapter deals with three learning principles (the principles of effect, exercise, and readiness) and four teaching steps (preparing the learner, presenting the information, applying the information, and evaluating the results). Examined in the next two chapters are ways of using the first three steps of instruction to teach a skills lesson and related information. The fifth chapter describes procedures for evaluating students' mastery of skills and related information, and the sixth chapter covers initiating and operating a course. Concluding the guide is a list of 121 useful insights and recommendations. Appendixes to the handbook include various forms for copying and lists of materials and sources of materials for EMS training. (MN)
