Online EMS Medical Director Training Course<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Virginia Office of EMS (OEMS) has made arrangements to offer an online EMS Medical Director training program. This course satisfies the training component of the EMS regulatory requirements for initial endorsement as an EMS agency operational medical director (OMD) or an EMS training program physician course director (PCD).\u00a0This course is an entry level introduction to the essentials of EMS<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
medical oversight and direction. The materials were adapted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration\u2019s (NHTSA) \u201cGuide for Preparing Medical Directors\u201d which had previously been completed by the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP TM) and the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) with funding support from NHTSA and the Health Resources and Services<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Administration (HRSA).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This web-based program was produced by the Critical Illness and Trauma Foundation in collaboration with the NAEMSP TM, the National Association of State EMS Officials,<\/b>\u00a0and Montana State University\u2019s \u2013 Burns Technology Center.\u00a0<\/b>Funding support to prepare these web-bases materials was received from HRSA and NHTSA.<\/b><\/div>\n

How to Register to Use the Site<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Each physician is required to register to use the site.\u00a0The individual needs to remember their ID and password<\/u><\/b>. This will ensure that if a physician needs to leave the site, they can return and finish the course.\u00a0Individual physicians registering to use this site do not need to provide credit card information for payment because the Virginia OEMS has purchased an annual contract that allow physicians to<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
attend free of charge. Once a physician registers to use the site the program will know if the individual is from a state that has pre-paid for their attendance.\u00a0Each physician is required to complete an evaluation form before the program will allow them to print a certificate of completion. This certificate is for completion of the core course only. This course also includes a state specific module containing material<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
that outlines what a physician needs to complete to be endorsed as an EMS Physician in Virginia.\u00a0The length of time to finish the course from start to finish is approximately 4 to 6 hours.<\/div>\n
