Introduction What is an Education Compliance Self-Study? An education compliance self-study is a Sponsoring Organization (SO) developed compilation of documents and evaluations that describes the program’s strengths and weaknesses associated with the provision of education. It explains and documents the program’s organizational structure, resources, facilities, personnel and their qualifications, policies and procedures, course delivery methods, clinical and field affiliations, and psychomotor competencies to describe how the program determines student success. Instructions and Information The SO’s education compliance self-study is a collection of information used to document compliance with EMS rules. The SO should regularly refer to the self-study and use it as a tool to identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas in need of improvement.
The Education Compliance Self-Study Assists Kansas Board of Emergency Medical Services (KBEMS) approved SOs to strive for educational excellence. This outline is intended to ensure uniformity of content to better facilitate SO and KBEMS review. This tool is intended to assist in evaluating the SO’s educational offerings to identify strengths, weaknesses and areas needing improvement. Use this tool to assist in formulation of the agency report to the Board that is required should the SO fall below 70% on all attempts completed annually for the NREMT cognitive examination. NOTE: This is a starting point and will require adjustment to address the SO’s unique situation.
The information used to complete this education compliance self-study will be considered in monitoring improvements in identified deficiencies and will not be used for any purpose other than intended.
Submit the self-study electronically to the Education Manager. Note: include agency name in the subject line and email to [email protected].
