[HFDlist] M&M Rounds, Requirements/EMT Renewals

[Ethan Naiman]

  Good Morning EMS Providers,

We have scheduled the first of our in-house EMS rounds for Monday  
February 26, 6p-8pm. This will be a case review led by Dr. Weisberg.  
New this year, DPH released an advisory (attached), stating that  
rounds attendance requirements apply to all levels of EMTs. Dr.  
Weisberg and I are still in discussion in how this will affect our  
service and round requirement minimums long-term, but for now, I would  
plan that all providers will need to attend 4 rounds per calendar year  
(at least two of those hosted by umass) irrespective of level. That  
being said, rounds do have a great deal of educational benefit for all  
of our EMS providers, and we try to make it as enjoyable as possible  
by offering two case review sessions and two practical review sessions.

On another note, anyone who is recerting for CY2024, please make sure  
you complete your renewals (and payments) both in NREMT, as well as  
the state website located  
here: https://www.mass.gov/how-to/renew-your-emt-advanced-emt-or-paramedic-certification

Any questions, please touch base with me.

Thanks,

  Ethan
