First, thanks for your interest, and initiative, in the Senior EMM
program!
Following are the links to the Senior Candidate
Application, as well as the Senior Core Electives and Activity Report.
Both are in "Word" format, as well as in "pdf" format. Whichever is easier for
you.
Senior Candidate Application:
Senior Core Electives and Activity
Report:
These are also available on the nsp.org website. Click through
"Member Services", then to "Member Resources". On the left there is a drop
down menu for "Links"; click on that and then click on to "My Bookshelf".
There you'll find a shaded bar "Reference and Resource Materials". Click the
"Downloads" link in that subset and you'll find these documents there in the
event that the embedded links don't work.
Insofar as manuals, if you don't have one already, please get
yourself a copy of "The Ski Patroller's Manual" (14th edition). Your PD, or
someone else on your Patrol may have a copy that you can borrow/use. That
failing, you can buy one from the NSP online catalog (sku#501,
$12.00):
In there you will find pretty much everything you need to know about
the full Senior program; you can find it in Chapter 18 (pp. 127~148. The
Senior EMM component is covered in pp 144~148). As an overview, the
basic prerequisites for Senior EMM are as follows:
- Basic Skills (OEC 5th Edition and Basic Life Support CPR)
- Submit written answers to two open-ended practice scenario problems
(scenario problems can be found in "The Ski Patroller's Manual", on pp.
179~187)
- Create one new Senior level training scenario
- Participate as a Leader in a minimum of 4 (four) training
scenarios
- Participate in training clinics
The 2 (two) sanctioned Training Clinics will be held at the following
locations/dates/times:
- Mount Peter (Southern Catskills), Sunday, Jaunary 15, 2012, 8:30 AM
- Belleayre Mountain (Northern Catskills), Sunday, February 19, 2012,
8:30 AM. Registration will be held at the First Aid Room in the
Overlook Lodge (Upper Mountain)
It is strongly suggested that all Senior EMM candidates to
participate in as many practice scenarios as possible. It is
also suggested that you be Lead in more than the required minimum
of 4 (four) scenarios.
The practice scenarios historically have been coordinated by
the Patrol Directors, on their respective hills.
To that end, any patrollers that would like to participate in
Senior EMM training exercises of the Northern Catskills Section are welcome to
attend/participate in the clinics run by Belleayre's EMS Advisor Ritch
Parrish.
These training exercises are held each Sunday
morning/afternoon throughout the 2011/2012 season. Please contact Mr.
Parrish at rparrish@hvc.rr.com to
advise him of your attendance/participation. Please also copy Belleayre's
Patrol Director Jesse Nichols at janichol@gw.dec.state.ny.us
For all those
patrollers attending the training exercises at Belleayre, please come in your
patrol uniform, with your first aid pack.
Patrollers who wish to attend Senior EMM training exercises held
in the Southern Catskills Section are welcome to attend/participate in
the clinics run by the Senior EMM Trainer/Evaluators, conducted at
Tuxedo Ridge throughout the 2011/2012 season. Please contact Donna Kirby,
Patrol Director at dmk4772@yahoo.com
The
Final Evaluation sechedule for March 25, 2012 in the Southern Catskills
Section. This will be confirmed January 2012; please
check back for updates on this webpage for updates.
Senior EMM Candidates are to be booted, and ready to ski/ride at each
of the two sanctioned clinics as well as the Final Evaluation. This will
enhance the realism of the training scenarios.
An Event Training Release Form will also be necessary for each
individual clinic, and the final evaluation:
In order to save time at both the two sanctioned Training Clinics,
and the Final Evaluation, please have these forms filled out, in advance, and
ready to hand in the day of the scheduled event.
Please check the SNY Region calendar regularly for any potential
updates, or changes to any of the above:

program.
