Project Summary

The concerted action to vocational education in the fields of emergency medical services (EMS) and rescue EM.EDU (Emergency Medical Education) is a strategic partnership between four education institutions
in the fields of emergency medicine and rescue science in German-speaking European countries (D, CH, A, I). The institutions are experienced and established in their countries for many years.
The main goals of the project are the exchange of experiences between the involved institutions and the development of a method-compendium to improve competency based education for emergency services. Thereby new, innovative and IT supported methods, which take the special needs of this vocational field into account, will be regarded.
The focus of the project is the development of vocational competences and relevant key competences of emergency medicine and rescue. We would like to involve experienced educators and trainers as much as possible.
The main part of the intellectual work should be done in meetings and workshops of the strategic project partners.
Specialised trainings und education workshops supports the development of specific competences inside the network.
This proceed allows the collection of methods and also the evaluation of the learning process during the project.
By the capabilities of interrelated sitting in on classes, the involved teachers develop new and international prospects of their work.
Also an organised exchange is an opportunity for the students to gain experiences on their jobs in a European context. The results of the project will be offered for free to all stakeholders. In doing so, the multiplication of the results in workshops and symposia are of particular importance.
Caused by the broad distribution of the results, it is expected that the vocational education in emergency services receives a strengthening and the collected and new developed methodical- didactical strategies could be established enduring.
