As a new agency member, there are a few required trainings you must complete that are provided by us. These trainings include:
- HIPAA compliance training and contract
- BLS/CPR for the healthcare provider (Either take our class or submit valid AHA/Red Cross card).
- Blood-borne pathogens training/PPE training.
- Taking vitals
- Respirator training and fit testing
- FEMA ICS 100, 200, 700
- Additional trainings as needed
In addition, you will need to be added to our scheduling and paging software and fill out a contract with Campus Safety to gain access to buildings around campus.
Other than the clearing process training, all members attend weekly meetings to get more training on things such as cold weather, trauma, splinting, etc. CUEMS also has occasional guest speakers at training sessions who can provide more insight into the medical emergencies that are less common on a college campus such as stroke, pediatric care, and traffic injuries.
At least once a year, if not twice, CUEMS has a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) training. This training allows CUEMS members, as well as members of Campus Safety and Security and local law enforcement and emergency responders, to train for the response to an MCI. This training attempts to be as realistic as possible with many actors present as “patients,” makeup artists to simulate injuries, and various responding agencies working together to coordinate patient care.
We are so excited that you are considering joining CUEMS. Please join our Knight Life page and email us or fill out the contact form below so we can put you on our email list.
