There are three key components of the
educational need that will be developed and provided as a component of
this program. They are:
- Education for the Clinicians; we see the
provision of ABLS as the cornerstone for the clinicians who will
serve on the front line of burn care in our state.
- Education for the Plan, the burn disaster plan
will require a certain element of education to be provided across
the state to assure understanding and implementation is uniformly
concluded.
- ESF-8 Lead personnel. It is imperative that
those involved in the command and control component of the medical
section, understand the unique needs of the burn patient.
Furthermore, an educational component will be developed and
delivered to assure the field triage treatment and transports are
working within the guidance of the Burn Surge Plan, so not to
inundate and overwhelm any one aspect of the medical system, from
the local hospital to the trauma and burn centers.

Advanced Burn Life Support
- With ABLS, Clinicians will better possess a skill set
that is more consistent with the understanding and needs of
the burn and blast injury patient. ABLS will be
delivered by the North Carolina Community College System for
Emergency Medical Service providers and through the AHEC
programs for hospital and health care based providers.

programs in your area, please refer to the title page for

Incident Command System (ICS), National
Incident Management System (NIMS), Emergency Management
Institute (EMI), Independent Study Courses
- The Federal Emergency Management Agency
operates the Emergency Management Institute at Emmitsburg,
Maryland near the Pennsylvania border. EMI is also
home to the National Fire Academy, also operated by FEMA.
Together, they are known as the National Emergency Training
Center. The facility was historically used as a
Catholic Women's College as a part of the St. Mary's
College. When the two segregated (by sex) campuses
were consolidated at St. Mary's into a co-ed program, the
abandoned campus was sold to the US Government in 1981 for
the purpose of creating the NETC. In addition to
hundreds of courses offered each year in residence, tens of
thousands enroll online for free courses related to
emergency management activities that include Incident
Command, National Incident Management System, and countless
other health care related courses. All take several
hours to complete and once you successfully complete the
post-test, you receive a certification verifying your
completion. Furthermore, these courses have equivalent
college credit that can be obtained for the costs of
converting the CEU's to Curriculum Hours at a local college
there in Maryland of you so choose. From this, you can
transfer this credit to most any regionally accredited
institution in the US.
- Regardless of your motive, this is
inexpensive, yet timely, convenient and current educational
materials that you can complete at your own pace. For more information regarding
EMI On-Line (free) courses please

Fluid Resuscitation.

for the link, let me remind you that this link will take you
away from this site and to another server. Although the
MD Calc website is considered to be accurate, it should only be
used as a point of reference and should never replace the common
body of knowledge that reflects current practice and standards
of care for the Burn Patient.
