2.0 Background
This acquisition is for one set of five simulated training labs (5 rooms) for students at the METC to utilize for EMT training. During the EMT phase the students attend practical exercises in medical simulation labs. In these labs the students learn how to obtain vital signs, conduct both medical and trauma assessments as well as critical thinking skills. The simulation labs are also part of the required PCR (Patient Contact Reports).
The labs are essential for patient contacts as established by the National Registry for Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT). In civilian EMT courses, the students are able/mandated to perform patient contacts through either ambulance ride-outs under the supervision of a paramedic or, in an emergency room under the guidance of a preceptor. However, due to the volume of students and the number of local available resources, DCMT is not able to follow these same standardized procedures.
The intent of this project is to provide some common settings where PCRs will be obtained in the civilian environment. Secondly, these five different training environments will afford students the opportunity to also practice situational awareness which is one of the first and very important steps in performing any patient assessment and part of the process for conducting a patient contact whether in a pre-hospital location or in a clinical setting.
