Intro Take 2!

Alrighty

here I am talking to myself again. Hopefully not This time

I just realized that in crazy. Which is what this presentation software is.

Which is why I got I really dude,

I can only do 15 minute videos at a time in the web browser.

So anyway, I figured out how to do longer videos in the future.

Have no fear. I figured it out. But let's pick up from where we left off.

So I'm just sharing my screen here again.

Alright, that looks like it worked.

So here we were talking about my lab like I said the National registries,

all multiple choice questions,

Those handouts which are in your modules

right here all these handout dot gov,

those are all multiple choice questions.

Those are just again to reiterate these are only for you.

You can take them if you want. You don't want, don't do it.

This is a, is a really intense class y'all. So

I understand nobody can work during this class.

This is the second time. Second time we've done this course. So it's getting better.

We learned a lot from last course.

But long story short,

there's a lot expected of you all you're getting a

lot of credits in a very short amount of time.

So I'm sure

everybody knows what they're up against. But all this extra stuff.

No,

that's available for you while you're practicing

to take the national registry cognitive exam

which like I said is all we're trying to set you up to do.

We have a very high success rate at the national test.

Our success rate college wide is somewhere in like the

93 percentile for first path first attempt pass rates nationally.

It's like 70 something.

So we do a pretty good job historically at setting you all up to pass that exam.

And a lot of it comes from all of these extra questions that we have available for you.

So there's those there's in my lab and mastering

you will be required to take post tests.

They're not in there right now.

It's April 30 still we're still a little more than a week out.

So if you're looking at canvas early

and you don't see any assignments that's

because we haven't put them out yet. But in

in my lab and master in here which will get in through right here.

That's where you'll take your post tests which are graded. Okay. Post tests

in quotes

post tests

are what is graded and you'll see that in canvas

and they'll automatically come over from my lab into canvas.

But those are two different sites that are trying to talk to each other so

it

doesn't happen instantaneously but you'll have to do those.

But then on top of the post tests that

are in there there's chapter test there's pre tests,

there's homework.

They build you out a whole study plan based

on things you get wrong in my lab environment.

So in here this is going to be your primary learning hub right?

There's a lot of multiple choice questions which is all

your test is it's all the national registry test is

right, so you got to take those ah

you got to take a post test for every chapter

of the book before you're done with this class.

So you have the first three weeks here with these recorded lectures with me,

which is not all the chapters, it's just the pre course kind of boring ones.

Like I said, I try to keep it spicy for you, try to tell you some stories.

But again, I'm sitting here talking to myself so we'll see how it goes.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you guys have.

I am more than happy to help. Like I said right now I'm a businessman.

I sit here at my desk and answer emails and I teach the MT class.

I have multiple employees, I do nothing but answer questions.

So if you have some, please feel free to reach out, send me an email.

I should be able to get back to you pretty quickly,

jeremy saying anything to do with the class.

Really, jeremy is your man anything in canvas or online.

So alright, let's just kind of go through here real quick so we'll pull this back up.

Just pull this up full screen. I hope it's not that blurry for everybody.

I don't know why it would be.

But here, like I said, everything's navigated through the modules,

there's three live Webex wrap wrap up lectures on Thursdays from 6 to 8.

Do not forget these these are mandatory and they

wrap up all the content for each week.

Okay

May 12th I'm not going to be there. I'm in moab teaching the wilderness, E. M. T.

Class, standalone Wilderness E M. T. Class in moab

in the desert on May 12th. But Jeremy is going to do that wrap up lecture with you

and then you'll see me for the 19th and the 26th for those.

You come over here to Cisco webex.

Um we don't have these up yet. There is no meetings yet. Um

that's what it looks like as an instructor.

If I go to student view and you go to Cisco webex over here, right?

You're not going to see anything yet.

But before then we will have webex is here

and all you do is click join the appropriate webex

but we'll do that on Thursdays from 6 to 8

for the first three weeks so don't forget that's there.

Um

So you're watching the intro video. Hopefully you found that. Okay.

Our contact info is down here.

This is Jeremy's email, this is my email, Happy to answer questions.

Both of us are absolutely freaking lutely.

Here's your syllabus, make sure you read that.

Like I said the post tests are required for each chapter

of the book, you're going to have to have all of these first chapter is done.

All this pre course stuff you have to have done before

May 30th when you start the rest of your core content.

Okay, so all of these post tests

which is chapters 123456789 26 37 40 41 42 43 44 45.

All of those post tests are due on May 30.

Okay, so get in here. Start doing them.

Like I said, you have to do one for every chapter.

So all of these basic core content chapters,

you have to do the post test in my lab for these.

Okay. And you access that not through canvas.

When they pull over, they will be sitting here. You will see post tests

Chapter 10. Post test will live right here. Okay? You sometimes

sometimes you can click in that way you can click in here through canvas.

But most of the time what I've learned teaching this way with both platforms,

platforms trying to talk to each other is you can

only go in through the my lab and mastering tab,

click in and go into Pearson that way and then find your post test in the Pearson site.

Okay, again, please reach out with questions.

I'm sure people will have questions on that. You always do.

There's I guarantee you somebody watching this is going to send me

an email that says tom why can't I get into my lab?

I can't access my post tests and I'm going

to say well it's because you're clicking in here.

The reason that it's in here is just to show you guys the due date. So in here

Not only do you have due dates that show up on your homepage?

Right?

Like everybody's got all these which none of those have due dates

but you'll have all your due dates will show up here.

But you also have your calendar over here. Okay?

So in your calendar everything will show up

listed based on when it's do so on May 30.

You're going to see all of the post test do this day on your calendar.

Okay so everything will come over.

It will be in your calendar it will be in your modules. Okay.

It's all designed to be pretty straightforward. Right?

So that's the long story short of that.

Um You have to do all of those post tests and those post

tests like it says here on your right or 70% of your grade.

Okay Jeremy and I were talking about this today. Currently your syllabus stands

as this for E. M. T. Basic which is 1 45

G. S. To back up. You have all of these different sections.

Okay You have different sections to that make up this entire course there's the amS

1 45 which is the mt basic lecture which is this there's the M.

D. Basic lab which is 1 46.

Did I just say 1 46. Anyway there's 1 60 I believe is your I. V.

Therapy class and then there's 1 72 maybe I mix

those up which is the wilderness portion of your class.

Okay so each of those sections are all built out into this

one canvas currently and we have different weighted percentages for each section

and this is what it says in your syllabus right now.

Okay so in your syllabus this is your requirement 70% of your

entire grade in this class is getting through those post tests.

The reason we do it that way. Like I said

the reason for that is so that you all have the best chance

at passing the national registry exam and therefore can actually become an E.

M. T. And go work. You can get through this class.

You can spend all this time and then fail that

test and you don't actually get to be an E.

M. T. Which would break my heart will break jeremy's heart.

So and all the other instructors who are helping with

this class you have so many amazing instructors helping you all

in your in your live hands on portion of this class.

There are amazing instructors that are helping

I've worked with all of them over the years.

They are all great really good people good people to learn from

good people to bounce stuff off of good people and giving feedback.

Everybody's got their different flavor of how they do that.

But yeah really really great people

in this class. So

it took it took a

whole community of us to pull this thing off.

We're really proud to present this to you all in kind of a new old style class.

We're trying to be better than the old long story

short colorado Mountain College is And us at Breckenridge especially

and Steamboat are really picking up the,

picking up the pace on how we offer wilderness medicine classes.

And this is like I said the second time we've offered this so it's getting better but

we are all coming together to make this the best offering to get the wilderness E.

M. T. And teaching wilderness medicine across the board.

We're trying to edge out Knowles basically who is our best competition?

I don't know if I should even say that.

I'm sure some administrator will watch this intro lecture and give me crap later but

well

ah if you're the administrator, I'm sorry in advance we can talk about.

Yeah. Alright moving on. Um

We talked about Cisco Webex,

we talked about my life and master and we talked about modules.

We talked about announcements, that's how you get most information.

They will also come to you in an email.

There's tutoring available in here.

Um Also within the modules there's just a lot of really good

resources in here. So it's listed out by module to start.

Okay we got pre course which is everything you do with me

Core content which is everything you do in the field E.

M. T. Basic style which is where all your chapter tests are going to live.

Then there's HIV therapy specific stuff. There's Wilderness CMT specific stuff.

Oh the extra credit you can take I. CS 100 get 2% extra credit in this class.

That is not going to take you very long.

I recommend everybody do it if you want to work as an E. M. T.

Pretty much anywhere. They're gonna make you get I. CS 100.

Anyway put it on your resume become more hirable

as somebody who hires E. M. T. S.

I'm telling you if I see that you've already taken steps to take I. CS 102 100

and you know all these all the extra kind of certs

especially taking this class where you got the Wilderness etcetera.

It makes you very very hirable.

I would love to have you. So take that gets two extra credit points also.

Um you're required documents for your clinic.

Als we'll talk about this more as the semester goes on clinical happen.

I believe after you get done with your field portion.

So jeremy will be talking to you all about this.

I will be sending announcements all that kind of stuff.

Um I'm not plugged into the that CMS 1 70. So that's your one credit E. M. S.

1 70 clinical portion of this class.

Yeah you guys have to go do clinical for ivy as well as E. M. T.

So I don't know exactly how it's working.

And then after that we got some protocols and guidelines in here.

Some good reference stuff for you. There's Denver Metro protocols.

ST Vincent Hospital. I wrote these protocols. Those are good.

Casey County's got good ones. The colorado E. M. T. Acts loud.

I hope this is the new one. I would imagine.

This is everything you're allowed to do in your scope of practice

as an E. M. T.

So there's is a really good reference document just to know what colorado E M. T.

S can do as well as eyes and PS. No, this isn't the newest one.

I'll put the newest one up. But it's a good little table.

We have a MTs now, which is why I know this isn't the newest one.

That's what jeremy had in his canvas. So I'll put the new one up.
