Southeastern Emergency Equipment to Hold Paramedic Refresher Course in July

March 24, 2010 - PRLog -- Wake Forest, NC – Todd Baker, Director of Training and Education for Southeastern Emergency Equipment, an international distributor of emergency medical equipment and supplies, has announced the center will offer Paramedic Refresher Courses the week of July 19, 2010. The classes will be held at the Southeastern Emergency Equipment Training & Education Center, located at 5762 Hwy 96W in Youngsville, N.C.

The Paramedic Refresher Course curriculum guidelines will be the objectives of the 2001 US DOT EMT-Paramedic Refresher Course. The program will consist of a Monday-Thursday lecture-style component, followed by three optional days where participants may take ACLS, PALS, and ITLS refresher courses.

Completion of the lecture component will meet all NREMT-P mandatory and flexible core content areas with the exception of 8 hours in airway, breathing, cardiology and 8 hours in OB/Peds. If participants elect to take the optional ACLS and PALS refresher modules, then all hours will be met for the required 48 hour paramedic refresher course. If participants elect to take the ITLS refresher module then those hours may be applied toward the additional 24 hours that are mandated by the NREMT. Completion of the entire program will result in participants departing with 56 hours of CE and renewed ACLS, PALS, and ITLS provider cards.

The course schedules and length include 32 hours on Mon-Thurs, July 19-22 from 8:00am-5:00pm each day for the lecture/lab component; 8 hours on Friday, July 23 from 8:00am-5:00pm for the ACLS refresher; 8 hours on Saturday, July 24 from 8:00am-5:00pm for the PALS refresher; and 8 hours on Sunday, July 25 from 8:00am-5:00pm for the ITLS refresher.

“In addition to our normal schedule, we want to meet needs expressed in feedback from previous paramedic refresher courses by offering stand-alone CE modules at night,” said Baker. “We want to offer attendees the ability to receive almost all the continuing education hours they might need in one convenient week-long session.”

Specific information regarding these evening courses will be posted at a later date; however, all hours will be valid and can be used in a variety of areas toward recertification.  We anticipate that many participants will use these hours toward meeting the 24 additional hours of EMS related CE that NREMT requires for paramedic renewal.

At least two courses lasting from 2-3 hours each will be offered.  These courses will likely start at 7PM in order for folks to have time to eat after ending the day at 5PM. Additional information will be posted on the training website at www.seequip.com when details are finalized.  Participants that have registered for other courses will be notified via email as well.
