Instructor USB available at customizedsafetytraining.com This book is a multiuse book that functions as an EMR textbook, Resource, and Study Manual. We had the vision to think in new and challenging ways to create a concise, easily comprehensible, and organized book which truly meets the needs of today's Emergency Medical Responder (EMR). We have used several different EMR books first responder in the education of EMR's and none has measured up to what the Essentials for the Emergency Medical Responder 2nd Edition can provide. This book stresses all the domains of learning. The cognitive domain is addressed through the acquisition of knowledge in an easy to understand the narrative. The psychomotor domain is emphasized through a detailed description of skills. The affective domain is an essential theme of this textbook by emphasizing "Dare to Care". This book emphasizes and gives you a foundation to acquire the critical thinking skills necessary to provide the most meaningful care to the patient. We discuss the "why" of patient care so you can better understand the reasons for the care you give in order to make the necessary decisions. The knowledge you gain from this book is a solid stepping stone to move to advanced levels of EMS. It is a valuable resource and study manual for taking written and psychomotor advanced certification examinations. It is also a stepping stone for you to incorporate these skills and knowledge base in any other area of health care you choose, whether career or volunteer. The Essentials for the EMR 2nd Edition, meets and exceeds the current National EMS Education Standards, as presented by The National Highway and Traffic Administration, The National Registry of EMT's (NREMT) and local and state requirements for the proficiency of the EMR.
Autorenporträt
Joseph Allen Grafft, MS, NREMT Joe Grafft's interest and eventual career as an EMS provider and educator began with his father Charlie Grafft, a police chief and later county sheriff. Despite having little and living in a boxcar without running water the first 12 years of Joe's life, his father modeled volunteerism. In 1959 at the age of 12, Joe began taking first aid and rescue classes from his father and became part of a junior rescue squad. Instilled in him was the importance of care and concern for the patient. His father's words of wisdom still resound after all these years, "Have a reason for what you do and treat everyone with respect and dignity!" How true these words are today! In 1965, Mr. Grafft began working for an ambulance service while attending college. In 1968, he became a CPR instructor with the Minnesota Rescue and First Aid Association and a member of the Minnesota Para-Rescue team. He became a Nationally Registered EMT in 1974 and shortly thereafter became a vocationally licensed EMS instructor and a Regional Affiliate Faculty and National BLS Faculty for the AHA. Receiving a bachelor's degree and later a master's degree in health education and EMS management, Joe began his professional teaching career in the high school setting while continuing to work in the ambulance service and as an athletic trainer. Joe's passion for the youth in EMS was demonstrated when he started a high school program in 1976, called Opportunities in Emergency Care (OEC). This program trained high school students to become EMT's and was the first such program in a high school in the nation. The high school had two ambulances staffed by paramedics and EMT's who mentored the students. The National Registry of EMT's awarded the OEC Program with the outstanding EMT training site in 1980. The ambulances made 5,000 runs per year. These same students won ten consecutive World Championships in EMS with the International Rescue and Emergency Care Association. The OEC program is still in existence and has expanded to several other high schools. Mr. Grafft became the EMS director in 1988 for a hospital paramedic system. In 1990, he became the first EMS manager for the Minnesota State Board of Vocational Education-Fire Center, later becoming the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, Fire/EMS/Safety Center, Chancellor's Office. In this position as an EMS manager, he supervised and provided leadership for 53 campuses. Grafft is past president of the National Association of EMS Educators (NAEMSE), Inter-national Rescue and Emergency Care Association (IRECA), and The Minnesota Ambulance Association (MAA), past chair of the AHA-ECC committee in Minnesota, past secretary of Advocates EMS, served on the NREMT Board of Directors for 13 years. He authored "Issues in Spinal Care" (Laerdal), "EMS in a Secured Facility", presented at several conferences, and has written several articles for EMS journals. Mr. Grafft has been a Community Faculty from 1995-2015 at Metropolitan State University, School of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice. He has coordinated training and education for numerous EMS federal, state and local agencies in CPR, basic and advanced EMS and wilderness medicine. Mr. Grafft continues to be a National Registered EMT and is a certified Level One & Two NAEMSE Instructor. He continues to coordinate three high schools EMR and EMT programs, and with Kathy provides EMS training through their company: Customized Safety Training, LLC.
