Paramedic Accreditation Orientation (PAO) & ALS Policy and Skills Review (PSR) Study Guide New
The PAO & PSR study guide is an interactive game/pre-test for the PAO & PSR class. You may be awarded 1.5 hours of non-instructor based EMS CEs if you print the course completion certificate and bring it with you on the day of your PAO/PSR course. The CA EMS CE is provided by San Joaquin County EMS Agency CEP# 39-0001. You may play the game as often as you want, but will only receive EMS CEs for a maximum of 2 times during a licensure period. This study guide is subject to change; therefore, it is highly recommended you complete it within 2 weeks of your scheduled PAO/PSR course.
NOTE: At this time if you close the game prior to completion, you will have to restart from the beginning.
This is a pilot program and we look forward to your feedback. We hope to improve the learning platform with graphics and details as time permits.
