What is an EMS competition?

The Creighton EMS Competition will consist of teams of three members plus a fourth alternate member who cannot participate but can help the team take photos or videos during the event, learn and be part of the scenario process and help the team practice and if needed, fill in for a member. Teams may be ALS (minimum of 2 Paramedics) or BLS (minimum of 2 EMTs) to participate. Each team is given the same EMS Scenario (“the call”) matched up against the clock (usually 15 minutes) and must triage assess, begin treatment and make transport decisions. Each event will have 5-8 patients, some critical, some moderate and minor, some “distracters” (non injured but either helpful or non helpful to each scenario). ALS teams will be judged in one category and BLS teams in another, with the ALS teams being responsible for both BLS and ALS care.

The scenario is based on a possible true to life event in which both human and non human (manikins) patients are used. Each team is awarded points off a grade sheet in which judges will keep track of points either awarded on a timely fashion or when each procedure is completed. Judging teams are made up of a lead judge who will give information to team members and shadow the team captain, feedback judges who will give vital information on patient status and treatment success, and scoring judges whose only role is to score on a predetermined score sheet how a team has successfully achieved points on these patients. Scoring judges are not allowed and do not give feedback to the teams.
