E-learning solutions provider MC Strategies, Inc., US, part of Elsevier Health Sciences, has announced that USA Prepare, its emergency preparedness unit, and the Allied Health Sciences School at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas will distribute UT Southwestern's online lectures to emergency medical technicians and paramedics via JEMSprepare.com. Each lecture will be worth 1.5 hours of Continuing Education Coordinating Board for Emergency Medical Services-approved education.
The lectures are based upon the clinical experiences of paramedics, emergency nurses and emergency physicians. Lessons combine the instructor's lecture with relevant graphics and on-screen animations, presented full screen with MP3-quality audio, thus engaging learning centers in the brain through visual and auditory stimulation.
USA Prepare provides web-based training featuring content created by experts and custom content developed to suit individual clients' needs. This is accomplished with a cost-effective and proven learning management system, the USA Prepare Knowledge Deployment System (KDS), used in over 1300 healthcare facilities in the US. With the USA Prepare KDS, busy students proceed at a pace that suits them, while retaining markers allowing resumption of interrupted work. The KDS also tracks each learner's progress and provides reminders for due dates of assignments and certifications.
As part of this new partnership, UT Southwestern will transition from their previous Internet learning platform, housed at www.utsw.ws, to JEMSprepare.com. This important advance will combine the currently CECBEMS-approved online lectures with an extensive menu of additional services. Emergency services providers will now have online tools for testing, tracking of continuing education credits, and access to continuing education completion certificates.
