The EMS educator must illuminate and instill each individual puzzle piece while not neglecting how each fits into the overall picture (the &#8220;front&#8221; of the puzzle box).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specialty shifts can be a little confusing for non-educators.  Students and their (other healthcare professionals) preceptors may ask, &#8220;How is this relevant to the ambulance?&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These <strong>Learning Plans answer those questions<\/strong>. They tell the student what cognitive material to review before the shift and the goals\/objectives\/expected experiences they should be looking to gain. Those same objectives help non-EMS pros understand how they can help the students (to the extent that the pro is invested).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plans in *.docx Format<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Download those you wish and make them your own. No EMS Educator should ever have to create a form (or policy or learning plan) from scratch again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to generate a PDF once you finalize the document.  Consider including each in your EMS Student Handbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sterlingcredentials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/29171151\/2023-Learning-Plan-for-ED.docx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learning Plan for ED<\/a> (good for EMT students who have never been)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sterlingcredentials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/29171227\/2023-Learning-Plan-ICU.docx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learning Plan for ICU<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sterlingcredentials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/29171250\/2023-Learning-Plan-for-LD.docx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learning Plan for Labor and Delivery (Obstetrics)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sterlingcredentials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/29171350\/2018-Learning-Plan-for-Pediatrics-Rotation.docx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learning Plan for Pediatric Clinic<\/a> (with specialty assignment since many are &#8220;well-care&#8221; observations)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sterlingcredentials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/29171514\/Internship-Instructional-Plan.docx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learning Plan for Capstone (Internship)<\/a>&#8211;based on NREMT model of reviews <strong>after every call<\/strong> (if you use <a href=\"https:\/\/sterlingcredentials.com\/\">Sterling Credentials <\/a>Capstone Discussion module, you can delete the section which refers to the NREMT form)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Edits to Do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Look for text <strong>IN BOLD<\/strong> to personalize the documents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All of these plans are specific to Texas.
