[CSEMSmail] Change in EMS Testing Policy

[Central Shenandoah EMS Cou]

Change in EMS Testing Policy	
Run report requirement removed from medical and trauma stations; BLS
practical exam suspension extended	
  <http://www.csems.vaems.org/images/oemslogo3.jpg> At the quarterly
Professional Development Committee (PDC) held in July 2007, the BLS
Certification Test Ad-hoc Committee presented a recommendation to
discontinue the requirement to complete a written PPCR in the Medical and
Trauma Practical Station.	
This recommendation was approved by the PDC. As a result, effective August
1, 2007, candidates will no longer be required to complete a PPCR when
testing the Medical or Trauma Practical Stations.  This is a global change,
so any candidate whose Primary Retest or Secondary Test or Retest takes
place after August 1, 2007 will not have to complete a PPCR.	
In addition, the PDC voted to extend the suspension of the BLS (AED)
Practical exam until July 1, 2008 to allow the Certification Test Ad-hoc
Committee time to complete its tasks and forward recommendations to the
committee.
