Objectives;
Geriatric Education for EMS course prepares prehospital practitioners to respond to, assess, and care for this fast-growing patient population. This third edition of the course strengthens and enhances practitioners' ability to provide the best care for older adults in every community.

The GEMS course helps EMS practitioners learn to conduct a comprehensive assessment of geriatric patients. Because the aging process affects all body systems, NAEMT's course provides an overview of changes that occur as people age and describes how those changes can impact patient presentation. Incorporation of the GEMS Diamond (Geriatric, Environmental, Medical, and Social assessments) can help practitioners formulate a holistic diagnostic and treatment approach.

OUTLINE:

Changes with age and assessment of the older patient
Polypharmacy and Toxicity in Older Patients
Respiratory Emergencies
Cardiovascular Emergencies
Trauma
Other Medical Disorders
Neurologic Emergencies
Elder Maltreatment and Psychosocial Emergencies
End-of-Life and Palliative Care
Disaster Triage and Transporting Older Patients
Left Ventricular Assist Devices
Skin Disorders
Ventilators
Urinary Catheter and Colostomy Bag Care
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators

The 8-hour course is appropriate for EMTs, paramedics, emergency medical responders, nurses, physician assistants, and physicians. GEMS is accredited by CAPCE and recognized by NREMT.

We’ll hear actual concerns brought to us by young folks who are on the fence about public service. We’ll discuss what it is that we are really asking from our new recruits. Finally, we’ll present ideas on how to keep “New Blood” infused into our bodies, and what that means to the future of how we do business.

By utilizing the metaphor of the sloppy sandwich maker, participants will have a connection to the concept of poor performance by students and EMS Education program staff. This concept invokes a desire in the participant to exceed the expectations of their students. Additionally, the participant can develop and implement expectations of their students in a meaningful way. These expectations prepare our students for successful careers in the EMS systems that we serve.

At the conclusion of this course, the participant will be able to:

Identify key characteristics of quality instruction
Recognize personal bias toward students
Identify habits that promote proper preparation for the classroom setting
Implement a culture of professionalism and pride in the classroom.
