Our original OSPA Forum page was hacked into.  So, we are going to try this approach: 

1. Members can send to the Forum Administrator (currently the OSPA President) topics to list on the forum page.  All e-mails MUST include the member's name and membership number with the e-mail.  

2. The Forum Administrator will attempt to post the topic or comment on the page for other members to read and comment on as soon as membership is confirmed. 

3.  No attempt will be made by the Forum Administrator to censor or limit a member's comments or a topic request as long as rudeness, defamation of individuals or agencies, or comments without support are not included (example: "Agency XX has incompetent medics.").    

First Responder -  Proposed Topic: Should First Responder training be at the agency level or at the community college level?  

Comments:

EMT-Basic - Proposed Topic:  Is EMT-Basic training getting to be too expensive? 

Comments:

EMT-Intermediate - Proposed Topic:  EMT-I Upgrade - How is it working for your agency?  Do you agree that the final Bridge test should not be graded and that everyone should automatically pass? If your agency uses EMT-Is, what medications and treatments under the new scope will your EMT-Is be authorized to use?   Other than the prehospital care report, does your agency keep data on what medications and skills an EMT-I uses, and the patient's outcome?
