Episode 86: Assessment of Students
How do you evaluate student competence beyond a written examination? Assessment in EMS education requires looking at the whole picture to ensure future Clinicians are ready for the field.In this episode of Registry Insider, host Bill Seifarth connects with Dennis Edgerly, Director for the EMS Academy at Arapahoe Community College. Filmed on location at the Accreditcon conference in New Orleans, they dive into the essential components of student and program assessment.
The conversation focuses on balancing cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains to ensure comprehensive student development. Dennis outlines how the affective domain serves as a daily continuum rather than an isolated unit, highlighting the importance of evaluating professional presentation, preparation, and peer interaction. They also discuss utilizing the clinical judgment model to build deeper examination questions, moving away from superficial recall and aligning classroom education with real-world practice.

Episode 8: Shooting Victim Management
What do you think is the most common injury leading to preventable death in civilian public mass shooting events? Many individuals might guess severe extremity bleeding, but the data tells a different story.
On this episode of From Science to the Scene, Dr. Ash Panchal breaks down a critical study that every EMS Clinician needs to understand. The research looks closely at autopsy reports to find out what causes potentially preventable death in these terrible situations. The data reveals that civilian injuries are very different from military injuries, meaning our traditional response plans must adapt.
Instead of the extremity wounds often seen on the battlefield, the vast majority of these civilian casualties suffer from hidden, non-hemorrhaging chest wounds, where a tension pneumothorax can quietly become fatal. Compounding this challenge, fewer than one in four of these individuals ever survive long enough to reach a hospital bed. This devastating reality proves that the windows of time for lifesaving medical intervention and rapid scene transport are overlapping and incredibly short.
We must continue to learn how to improve our triage, care, and movement of patients in chaotic environments. Tune in to explore how the SALT mass casualty triage protocol helps us make a difference when every second counts. Read the full study here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31029762/
