KBEMS Training and Educational Institution 079

A large part of our funding is used to present training opportunities to Paramedic’s, EMT’s, First Responders, and emergency department nurses. These classes are presented completely FREE OF CHARGE. We offer free textbooks and completion cards and provide all training equipment and supplies. ALS courses require two days of class. BLS courses require one day. BLS folks who attend both days of an ALS class will get inservice credit for their time, however their completion card will be BLS not ALS. We currently offer Pediatric Education For Prehospital Professionals (PEPP), START/JumpSTART and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) classes.

To schedule your class contact our project coordinator

• Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)

The completely redesigned American Heart Association Pediatric Advanced Life Support course is based on new science evidence from the 2005 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC and a new teaching methodology. The goal of the PALS course is to aid the pediatric healthcare provider in developing the knowledge and skills necessary to efficiently and effectively manage critically ill infants and children, resulting in improved outcomes.

•  Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START / JumpSTART)

The START system, developed by Hoag Hospital and the Newport Beach Fire Department (Newport Beach, CA), helps prepare emergency personnel to quickly organize their resources to handle multi-casualty emergencies. Using START, various agencies and individuals assume predetermined roles in managing the emergency, on-scene personnel quickly evaluate the situation and call in the appropriate extra resources and assign them specific tasks. Because of the planning and training that are the core of the START system, agencies and individuals know what they are expected to do when they arrive at the scene.
