This is already in place and occurring through Blackboard. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">•Exams will be given via EMS Testing (as is current practice). Leads will adjust scheduling of these exams to fit individual cohorts. Exams will be timed and password protected to prevent students from other classes from having access. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">•Leads/OSE’s already have a system in place for communication with students via email/phone/text. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">•Each lead will utilize Collaborate via Blackboard once per week, scheduled at their discretion to provide students with weekly interaction. This can be adjusted as needed. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">•All students will temporarily receive an Incomplete (I) for their grade. This will be adjusted as needed with students grades being changed once they complete the required material. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;"><BR></FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">Psychomotor (Lab) – </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">•All scheduled students for clinical/field hours report to campus and remain in groups of 6, plus 1 instructor. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">•NO interaction between labs. Students will remain in a particular room for the duration of lab. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">•6:1 ratio will be adhered to at all times. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">•Number of labs and the duration each day (4 or 8 hours) will be dependent on number of lab instructors available. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">•Paramedic focus will be on PHTLS and then PALS.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">•The EMT “big” room will only be utilized by one group. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">•Appendix G numbers will be adjusted as CoAEMSP evaluates. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;"><BR></FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">Clinical – </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">•Students will resume clinical rotations (hospital and FR) at the discretion and notification received by each Hospital and Fire Department. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">•Appendix G numbers will be adjusted as CoAEMSP evaluates. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">•Clinical Instructors and Fire Rescue Instructors will utilize the State direction that allows for 50% of clinical and field hours in a simulated setting by coming to campus and utilizing lab room. This will be adjusted based up space and instructor availability. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><SPAN><FONT style="font-size: 14px;">•Our Achilles heel.
