The Field and Clinical Rotations are an essential part of the Enhanced Course. Students will be required to spend up to 48 hours in a combination of ride along time on an ambulance and time in the Emergency Department at a hospital. The student will also be required to perform a certain number of their new skills known as competencies. After each rotation the student will be required to file the following forms with the course coordinator in order to receive credit for the time and competencies.


Let’s start with the explanation of the Fauquier County precepting variations from the REMS program.



The first variation is that REMS classifies anyone over the age of 55 as a Geriatric patient. They then state that any procedure that is performed on a patient over 55 cannot be classified in any other category. Fauquier County’s OMD and the EMS Committee determined that if the preceptee had received enough Geriatric contacts that the patient was still an adult and that the remaining contacts could then be classified as adult contacts. Fauquier County also classifies anyone at or over the age of 65 as a geriatric patient as opposed to 55. Therefore, someone between the age of 55 and 65 is classified as an adult.



The second issue is that the REMS Protocols states that patient contacts may only be counted toward one category. I.e. a patient who is having chest pain along with difficulty breathing can only be categorized one or the other but not both. The EMS Committee and the OMD have altered this policy to allow the preceptor to count the contact in the contacts areas that they deem appropriate as long as the preceptee and the preceptor can document their choices to the satisfaction of anyone who may have to review the precepting paperwork later on in the process.


Okay, let’s move on to the REQUIRED PAPERWORK, FIELD/CLINICAL ROTATION FORMS EXPLANATION!


REQUIRED PAPERWORK, FIELD/CLINICAL ROTATION FORMS EXPLANATION!

There are six items:

(1) The DFES FIELD/CLINICAL COMPETENCY WORKSHEET. The course coordinator will maintain a cumulative summary of all patient contacts and competencies as they are reported on the following forms. The student will receive a copy of this report when they receive their weekly progress reports.

(2) The CLINICAL/FIELD ROTATION COMPETENCY SUMMARY REPORT. This form provides a summary of all competencies attempted and successful during the student’s rotation. The student and the Field Training Officer must both sign the form.



CLINICAL/FIELD ROTATION COMPETENCY SUMMARY REPORTTo be completed for both, field and hospital rotations for each rotation period.

Both, the Student and the Preceptor MUST sign in the appropriate location.




(3) The FIELD ROTATION EVALUATION FORM is used for the Field Training Officer and the Clinical Training Officer to evaluate the EMT-Enhanced Student’s experience and participation during the shift.

The Field Training Officer must complete this evaluation and the form must be signed by both the Preceptor and the Student.







(4) The ALS-FTO FIELD INCIDENT EVALUATION FORM this form must be completed and signed by the FTO. This form must be filled out by the FTO for every incident in which the student participated and expects to receive credit.

Once these forms are received by the course coordinator they will be compiled on the Competency Summary Form. A copy of the student’s statistics will be reported to the student when they receive their weekly progress report.
