Objective: To expand the scope of the work performed by emergency medical service (EMS) providers, a 3-day education training course was implemented at the national level to organize and operate a special EMS unit consisting of level-1 EMS providers and nurses. We conducted an evaluation of the curriculum for EMS providers that completed the education course.
Methods: From June 2019 to July 2020, a survey was conducted to evaluate the curriculum of 270 EMS providers that completed the training course in Gangwon province. We analyzed differences between educational needs, satisfaction with educational contents, and job performance confidence with respect to age, sex, certification, and career.
Results: We analyzed the contents of 143 questionnaires received from the EMS providers. Satisfaction with the “instructor” was highest at 4.52 points, and satisfaction with the “education” provided was lowest at 3.89 points. Those aged over 40 had the highest satisfaction scores for “education”, and a significant inverse relationship was found between age and satisfaction (P=0.020). In the overall curriculum, educational need was highest among those with a career duration of ≥ 3 years and those in their 30s. Regarding educational contents, the need for advanced cardiovascular resuscitation was greatest and the need for emergency delivery was lowest, but this difference was not significant.
Conclusion: When designing a curriculum for EMS providers in the future, segregation into similar groups is required to reflect their educational needs.
