University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Program
About This Program
The program consists of five elements: didactics, practicum, seminars, computer-based training (CBT), and asynchronous learning. Didactics are lectures covering the core content of EMS Medicine. Practicums are practical experiences at EMS agency sites. Seminars are external conferences which counterpoint learning. CBT are web-based courses emphasizing key concepts in emergency response. Asynchronous learning consists of assigned readings. Over the year these provide over 900 hours of content.
