The next simulation center rotation will begin on September 11th, 2013. All EMT and paramedic-certified personnel
with MEDIC and all full time EMT and paramedic-certified members affiliated with Mint Hill Fire Department are required
to complete this simulation rotation. Again, the simulation scenarios are written to meet the North Carolina Office of
EMS objectives, U.S. DOT curriculum objectives, and Mecklenburg EMS Patient Care Protocols and do provide continuing
education credit toward recertification.
In order to make the experience in the simulation center as realistic as possible, it will be
necessary for full-time employees of both Medic and Mint Hill to schedule an appointment to
go through the simulation center with their partner (if one is currently assigned). If you are a
new employee riding in a third-person status, you should plan to go through the rotation with
your current crew. Part-time employees of Medic and/or Mint Hill may schedule themselves to
go through the simulator with another part-time employee or can schedule to fill an existing
simulation center appointment vacancy. EMT personnel with Mint Hill Fire Department are
welcome to accompany a Mint Hill Paramedic through his/her simulation rotation.
All certified personnel with Medic and full-time certified personnel with Mint Hill Fire
Department must contact a member of Medical Services to schedule an appointment.
The deadline to schedule an appointment is this Friday,
September 6th. Again, attending the simulation rotation is
mandatory and provides 10 hours of continuing education toward
your recertification.
In addition, please keep the following in mind:
Do not sign up within two (2) hours of your 10-42 time.
Operations will follow the disciplinary process for a no call/no show to your scheduled
simulation appointment.
If you cannot attend the time slot that you signed up for, it is your responsibility to do a
switch and a find a replacement for your time slot.
A simulation center rotation schedule will be posted in Operations. Please be sure to
remember the date and time that you sign up for as we will not send out
appointment reminders.
Come dressed in your Medic/Mint Hill Fire Department uniform for your scheduled
simulation.
Please contact a member of Medical Services if you have any questions about the upcoming Simulation Center Rotations
in September at:
Tom Porcelli - ext. 6024 Brian Shimberg - ext. 6142
