MTU Update, 9-25-2011
 
Thanks to the work of the OHSU Office of Rural Health and the Oregon Legislature, the funds for the MTU program were restored and it will become fully operational with 2 training units soon!  Currently the Oregon EMS and Trauma Systems Office is advertising for the second position.  The job announcement is located at www.oregon.gov in the employment section.  the position is titled "Public Health Educator."  This position will remain open until October 11. 
 
Until then, the MTU-2 position is continuing to schedule training throughout the state.  Many thanks to Donna Wilson, the original mobile training unit coordinator, for her work and dedication not only to this program, but to the rural agencies in Oregon. 

Welcome! 

 

The Mobile Training Unit (MTU) is a rural educational outreach program for ambulance and first response agencies in Oregon.  The mission of the MTU is to keep rural volunteer emergency response agencies operational through the provision of continuing education that is mandatory for certified EMS personnel.  The MTU is designed to help prevent the volunteer ambulance, economically challenged service area providers, and first response systems from the inability to provide 911 services due to the lack of adequately trained and certified volunteer EMTs and First Responders.

MOBILE TRAINING UNIT CLASSES

 

The MTU will teach any topic related to prehospital emergency care that is tailored to the agency's needs and level of care.  Assessment and management skills are emphasized in each class for each certification level (first responder through paramedic). A critical thinking approach is employed with lecture, discussion and in some cases, hands-on scenarios. 

 

The average class length for the MTU is 2.5 hours.

 

The grid to the left provides examples of the types of classes taught through the MTU.  This list is not exclusive!  The MTU is able to deliver any topic related to EMS response and care.  

 

If there are specific training ideas you want your agency to experience, or if you have a particular class topic in mind that is not listed, then please do not hesitate to ask.
