ruth@coaemsp.org; Ruth will email the invoice to you immediately.
The due date for the invoice is July 1. This applies to ALL programs that either hold CAAHEP accreditation or the CoAEMSP Letter of Review, or are working toward the LoR.

Do You Know When to Add an Assistant Medical Director?
|
Does your program send students out of state for clinical, field experience and/or capstone field internship? If the answer is yes, then the program must identify and gain CoAEMSP approval “in advance” for each physician (Assistant Medical Director) who agrees to supervise and oversee the students’ clinical, field experience and/or capstone field internship.
The program must provide evidence of a formal relationship with a licensed physician currently authorized to practice in
each state where students are participating in patient care. The physician must meet or exceed the qualifications for the position of
Assistant Medical Director and perform the responsibilities of the position as described in the
CAAHEP Standards and Guidelines (Standard III.B.4.) “to provide Medical supervision and oversight of out of state students participating in clinical, field experience and/or capstone field internship.”
The program must also provide evidence that it has successfully notified and
gained approval from each respective State Office of EMS where students are sent (
CoAEMSP Policy XI.D).
If the program’s Medical Director is licensed in other states other than where the main program is located, the Medical Director may agree to serve as the “supervising and overseeing physician” in each state where he/she is licensed. In such cases, the program must notify CoAEMSP and provide a copy of the Medical Director’s current license for each state (
CoAEMSP Policy XI.C-D).
If the program needs to identify a physician in the state where students will be placed (see CAAHEP Standard III.B.4.a-b.), the program must
add the physician as an
Assistant Medical Director following the personnel procedure outlined on our webpage
here
. This procedure must be completed in advance of placing students out of state.
Be sure your are using the correct form when you add an Assistant Medical Director! (See related article that follows.)
|
|
Are You Using the Correct Form or Document?
|
Staff is often revising forms and documents to facilitate completion and reflect updates. Make sure you are using the most recent and accurate form by downloading the form or document from our website EACH time you need to complete a form or document!
