Please review the ones pertinent to your examination. Both versions of the skill sheets are available on our website. Any candidate testing on or before Mawill be evaluated using the current Skill Sheets.
This change impacts Advanced Level Psychomotor Examination candidates testing on or after March 17, 2021. The National Registry reviews its examinations with the help of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), who are guided by accurate content, and current and relevant practice to make recommendations to the National Registry. Critical criteria were reviewed by working EMS providers and have been simplified to more accurately reflect a focus on good patient care. Skill examiners still have the opportunity to report major clinical errors or behavioral issues to the National Registry Representatives who are responsible for scoring the candidate’s examination.
The National Registry recognizes that there is variance in the way different healthcare providers assess and treat patients which all fall within nationally acceptable standards, hence the changes. Best practice in test development encourages judicious use of critical criteria to eliminate “trap doors” which potentially cause a candidate to fail based on a simple error when they were otherwise demonstrating good performance. Critical criteria also cause candidates to focus too much on “what not to do” instead of focusing on appropriately managing the patient. The National Registry continuously reviews its examinations to be certain that content is accurate, relevant and reflects current practice. This is a change from the previous “all or nothing” score for this skill station. In addition, the Static Cardiology skill will now allow candidates to receive points for the appropriate treatment of the patient, even if the rhythm interpretation is incorrect. Skill Sheets for the National Registry Advanced Level Psychomotor Examinations will have fewer critical criteria. We are providing this information to help you prepare for the implementation of the revised Skill Sheets on March 17, 2021. For these reasons, the National Registry has revised the Advanced Level Psychomotor Examination Skill Sheets.
It is also true that paramedics, emergency physicians, cardiologists and primary care physicians have many different approaches to assessment and care that still leads to a positive outcome for the patient. MaExperienced providers sometimes interpret EKGs differently from one another. National Registry Announces Update to Advanced Level Skill Sheets Effective March 17, 2021
