This handbook is intended to clarify the responsibilities of an instructor-coordinator responsible for coordinating an emergency medical services (EMS) training program and to describe many of the materials now available for use in coordinating EMS training. Addressed in the individual chapters of the guide are the nature and scope of the coordinator's job; curriculum and instruction; facilities, equipment, and materials; and other administrative responsibilities. Appendixes to the handbook include the following: regulatory authorities and professional associations concerned with EMS training, lists of available instructional materials and instructions for obtaining them (including sources of audiovisual and print materials, basic and advanced life support publications, and readability scores for selected publications); materials for instructors or coordinators (books on supervision, instruction, and instructional design and development and national EMS-related periodicals); and samples of forms used in EMS training (formats for scheduling training, student contracts and enrollment documents, instructor contracts, training affiliation agreements, student and instructor course evaluation forms, and student's clinical training reports).
