Transport Team Training and Program Orientation
The goal of transport team training is to develop a program that ensures that members will have the combined expertise to assess effectively and manage actual and potential problems, in addition to demonstrating their ability to plan, implement, and evaluate ongoing stabilization and interventions during transport.
The depth and scope of an individual orientation program regarding initial interhospital or return transport and scene and prehospital response when applicable is determined based on job descriptions and specific transport responsibilities. An orientation period should include a training format such as outlined below. During this time, the trainee should participate in transport under the supervision of an experienced team member. This period should end when the training program director and the trainee are confident of the trainee's abilities. Formal evaluation regarding newly acquired and expected skills should be a standard part of the transport curriculum and provider assessment process.Departmental Overview
