RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning a Memorandum of Understanding for Provision of Certain Clinical Training - Michael D. Weaver, Public Safety Department Director

That the Board take the following action concerning the Memorandum of Understanding between Escambia County and Fire and Emergency Services Gulf Coast for the Provision of Certain Clinical Training:

A. Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to allow the provision of clinical training experiences required for emergency medical technician (EMT) certification, under the auspices of Escambia County Emergency Medical Services (EMS), for selected Fire and Emergency Services Gulf Coast (FESGC) trainees; and

B. Authorize the Chairman to sign the MOU.

BACKGROUND:

Fire and Emergency Services Gulf Coast, a subordinate to the Naval Air Station Pensacola, has determined a mission-critical need for EMT training for selected FESGC trainees. Such training requires the provision of clinical facilities in which trainees can obtain the clinical learning experiences required for EMT certification. This recommended MOU will establish a partnership whereby Escambia County EMS will provide such clinical training, specifically pre-hospital, emergency patient care, for FESGC trainees. It will benefit EMS through use of additional manpower provided by FESGC trainees.

EMS Field Training Officers (FTOs) will provide the necessary oversight and instruction, based on a suitable training program developed in coordination with FESGC.
