Patient assessment may be the most challenging subject for EMS students to grasp, and there never seems to be enough time in the classroom for practice. Patient Assessment Practice Scenarios allows students to fine-tune their understanding of the patient assessment process. This BLS- and ALS-level text includes 150 EMS practice scenarios (75 trauma and 75 medical) that focus on the assessment process as dictated by the National Registry medical assessment and trauma assessment skill sheets. Each case is a script of an emergency call. The student and proctor (who may or may not be an instructor) may read through the case for rote practice of the assessment process, or the student may verbally work through the assessment process, with cues from the book read by the proctor. Cases may also be used as homework, in the classroom, or for self-study! This book is for BLS or ALS students who want to successfully learn patient assessment inside and out before actually working in the field, and any EMS provider who wants to refresh his or her assessment skills.

Proficiency with the trauma and medical patient assessments are without a doubt the most difficult task for the student to understand and accomplish. It seems as though there is never enough time in the classroom for the student to get the "practice time" that they really want. Patient Assessment Practice Scenarios includes 200 EMS practice scenarios (100 trauma and 100 medical) that focus on the assessment process. The cases are scripted with color-coded scripts for the student and the proctor, allowing any willing participant to become the "proctor" of the scenarios. The book has many applications in the classroom, as homework, in a study group, and in a one-on-one setting. The practice scenarios are appropriate for ALS and BLS students and providers. The approach is similar to the National Registry Practical Skills examination process and allows students to "talk through" situations they will face in the field. The goal if this book is to provide cases varying in difficulty and nature to help the student become the best EMS provider possible.

Assessing Health Professional Education is the summary of a workshop hosted by the Institute of Medicine's Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education to explore assessment of health professional education. At the event, Forum members shared personal experiences and learned from patients, students, educators, and practicing health care and prevention professionals about the role each could play in assessing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of all learners and educators across the education to practice continuum. The workshop focused on assessing both individuals as well as team performance. This report discusses assessment challenges and opportunities for interprofessional education, team-based care, and other forms of health professional collaborations that emphasize the health and social needs of communities.
