Abstract
The role of paramedics within the health care system has evolved beyond “technicians” performing tasks in isolation into “clinicians” who make time-critical and complex decisions. As the practice of EMS medicine advances away from over-reliance on expert opinion and towards an evidence-based foundation, out-of-hospital providers need to understand the role of research in guiding clinical care. [1] The National EMS Education standards, which define the required content of paramedic initial education, prescribe that paramedics should have a fundamental depth of understanding of “research principles to interpret literature and advocate [for] evidence-based practice.” [2] The goal of this curriculum is to teach principles of evidence-based medicine in a context where students can appreciate the impact of research on their daily clinical decisionmaking.
