Practical Skills Examinations will also be provided. There are nine practical stations evaluating 12 skills, including cardiology (static and dynamic), airway management (endotracheal intubation and dual-chamber adjunct), trauma assessment, random basic skills, intravenous access, medication administration, oral stations and pediatric airway management and intraosseous infusion. The skills stations are presented in a scenario-type format to approximate the abilities of the candidate to function in the out-of-hospital emergency setting.
