QTEE THIS WEEKEND

2026-10-20T07:05:21Z

Here is another FREE highlighted class!

Assessing the Scene: How to Manage Strangulation Assault

Overview

In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, this EMS-focused course examines the assessment and management of patients who have experienced strangulation assault. Participants will learn to recognize subtle or hidden signs of injury, ask trauma-informed questions, identify clinical concerns, provide appropriate treatment, make informed transport decisions, and document relevant findings. The class will also explore why survivors may minimize the event or decline care and how EMS providers can communicate the potential seriousness of non-fatal strangulation while supporting patient safety, dignity, and informed decision-making.

EMS is a CRITICAL piece to recognizing and stopping abuse and trafficking situations.

From the man who brought you OEMS Officer 1!!!

YOU GOT THEM – NOW KEEP THEM

Turning EMS Recruitment Into Retention

Recruiting new EMS providers is only the first step. What happens after they join often determines whether they become committed members of the organization or begin looking elsewhere.

This session examines the practical factors that influence EMS retention, including organizational culture, onboarding, leadership,

mentorship, communication, and the everyday experiences of new members. Participants will explore strategies for creating a supportive

environment that strengthens engagement, builds belonging, and turns successful recruitment into long-term retention.

With Thanks,

Dave

FW: CAMP EMS Jobs Board – Regional EMS Employment Resource

Need a Job? Wanna have those EMS skills really pay off!

From: Carlos Cajares <ccajares@PROTECTED>

To: David Keeler <dkeeler@PROTECTED>
Subject: CAMP EMS Jobs Board – Regional EMS Employment Resource

I wanted to share a new resource we have developed through the CAMP EMS Program: the CAMP EMS Jobs Board.

We initially created the Jobs Board to help our EMT, AEMT, and Paramedic students and graduates connect with employment opportunities. However, we designed it to serve the entire EMS community—not just CAMP students.

Any EMS provider can use the Jobs Board to search for employment opportunities, and EMS agencies, fire departments, healthcare organizations, and other employers can use it to share available positions.

You can access the Jobs Board directly here:

https://camp-ems.com/jobs

Our goal is simple: connect EMS professionals looking for opportunities with organizations looking for great people. We hope this can become another useful workforce-development resource for our region and, ultimately, EMS providers throughout Virginia.
