The Levittown-Fairless Hills
Rescue Squad offers its members various educational opportunities for maintaining either
their EMT or Paramedic certifications. EMTs are required to
maintain 24 con-ed credits within 3 years of their
certification date. Paramedics are required to maintain 18 hours of con-ed a
year to maintain medical command
status.
Paramedics are also
required to maintain Basic Cardiac Life Support, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Pediatric
Advanced Life Support, and Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support. The Levittown-Fairless
Hills Rescue Squad also
has a committee to ensure that the members are informed of upcoming con-ed classes and
making sure that student members are progressing toward senior member status.
Another aspect of
education is Quality Improvement. The QI Team's main goals are to review patient
care reports
to ensure that the established protocols of the county and state are being adhered to and
maintain quality care
to the patients we serve.
Our QI Team is one of
the few in the county to operate at the organizational level in order to comply with Act
82.
The committee works very closely with the Unit Medical Director who volunteers his time to
provide medical expertise.
