5 Minutes to Help

This is the instructor lead 4 hours program (4 NJEMS CEUs).  You should have completed the 1 hour on line program prior to taking this class.

 . Your Date of Birth and NJ EMS number is required for CEUs.

Like many states around the country, New Jersey continues to experience a g rowing opioid epidemic. Among many professionals battling this epidemic on the front line are New Jersey’s First Responders.  Historically, providers are not trained or equipped to offer substance abuse resources to patients, and most are not made aware of what resources available; which translates to individuals that have suffered a near fatal overdose and refuse transport/further treatment are not offered or made aware of recovery resources. Many of these individuals are seen by the same EMS providers several times a week (and sometimes, in the same day) and are often the only health professional with whom they will interact.

Advanced Medical Life Support (AMLS)

NAEMT’s Advanced Medical Life Support (AMLS) course is the first EMS education program that fully addresses how to best assess and manage the most common medical crises in patients, offering a "think outside the box" methodology.  It is for all levels of practitioners with a strong commitment to patient care, including emergency medical technicians, paramedics, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurse anesthetists and physicians.

The course emphasizes the use of scene size-up, history, interactive group discussion on potential treatment strategies, and physical exam to systematically rule out and consider possibilities and probabilities in treating patients’ medical crises. The course offers an initial assessment-based approach that progresses to a diagnostic-based approach to quickly develop the best treatment plan.

AMLS is a sixteen-hour, two-day program that consists of interactive lectures, teaching and evaluation stations. The interactive/case based lectures include the following topics: altered mental status and neurologic disorders, respiratory dysfunction, shock, chest discomfort, endocrine, metabolic and environmental disorders, abdominal discomfort, infectious disease, and toxicologic emergencies, hazardous materials and weapons of mass destruction. Teaching stations follow the associated lectures each day. 

AMLS is endorsed by the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP). It is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for PreHospital Continuing Education (CAPCE) and is recognized by the National Registry of EMTs (NREMT). Students who successfully complete the AMLS course will receive a certificate of completion that is valid for four years.

All Hazards Disaster Response (AHDR)

The All Hazards Disaster Response (AHDR) course teaches students how to respond to the many types of disaster scenarios they may encounter, including natural disasters and infrastructure failings, fires and radiological events, pandemics, active shooter incidents, and other mass casualty events. AHDR educates participants on how to analyze potential threats in their area, assess available resources, and create a response plan that will save lives.

Features of a medical response plan covered in the course include:

 

  • Communicating effectively during disasters.
  • Mutual aid and interoperability.
  • Managing resources such as supplies, medications and equipment.
  • Triage and transportation strategies and challenges.
  • Patient tracking and evacuation.

 

At the start of the course, participants conduct a “hazards vulnerability analysis” to assess features of their environment, both natural and man-made, that pose risk along with assessing the needs of vulnerable populations, such as assisted-living residents or hospital patients that need special consideration during such an event.

 

Content is presented in the context of realistic scenarios, culminating with a large-scale mass casualty activity.

 

AHDR is appropriate for all levels of EMS practitioners. This course is offered in the classroom and provides 8 hours of CAPCE credit and NREMT recognition.

Neonatal Resuscitation Program

 

 

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program® (NRP®) course conveys an evidence-based approach to care of the newborn at birth and facilitates effective team-based care for healthcare professionals who care for newborns at the time of delivery. NRP utilizes a blended learning approach, which includes online testing, online case-based simulations, and hands-on case-based simulation/debriefing that focus on critical leadership, communication, and team-work skills.

The NRP Provider Course introduces the concepts and basic skills of neonatal resuscitation. It is designed for health care professionals involved in any aspect of neonatal resuscitation, including physicians, nurses, advanced practice nurses, nurse midwi​​ves, licensed midwives, respiratory care practitioners, and other health care professionals who provide direct care during neonatal resuscitation.

Completion of the program does not imply that an individual has the competence to perform neonatal resuscitation. Each hospital is responsible for determining the level of competence and qualifications required for someone to assume clinical responsibility for neonatal resuscitation. 

Steps to achieving provider status are listed below.

​

Provider Cu​rriculum, Part 1

https://nrplearningplatform.com/login

Part 1 focuses on building a foundation of neonatal resuscitation knowledge. The learning activities in Part I include

  • Self-study the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th Ed
  • Provider Exam and eSim Evaluation

Provider Curriculum, Part 2

Part 2 includes the Instructor-led Event (hands-on portion of the course). Activities include

  • Register for an Instructor-led Event, which includes:
    • Performance and Integrated Skills
      • ​The Performance Skills Station provides an opportunity to practice or review technical hands-on resuscitation skills with instructor assistance.
      • ​​​The Integrated Skills Station allows the instructor to facilitate more than one scenario and evaluate the learner's readiness for simulation and debriefing.
    • ​Simulation and Debriefing
      • ​​Simulation and debriefing provides a safe setting in which to integrate cognitive and technical skills, and focus on team communication and patient safety.  The instructor will not coach, assist, or interrupt during a scenario.
  • ​Complete the Instructor-led Event Evaluation

You must register for an NRP 8th edition Instructor-led Event before attending the event.  You can either register yourself for events or you can be registered by an instructor or administrator for the program. 

Once you complete all steps, the instructor will approve your skills and you will be required to complete a course evaluation.  Your eCard will not be generated until the evaluation is completed.  You will then have access to your NRP Provider eCard on the Resuscitation Cards page under your Profile.
