Statewide Treatment Protocol Update Course Video

Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Office of Emergency Medical Services, Prehospital Statewide Treatment Protocols (STPs) v2020. Please contact OEMS ...

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) continues to work with state, federal and local partners on the outbreak of novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2, and we continue to appreciate the essential role you have in responding to this evolving situation.

In recognition of the outbreak and disruption to some scheduled protocol update courses, the Department has created a video protocol update course, narrated by State EMS Medical Director Jon Burstein. Ambulance services may provide this (or other existing) videos to its EMTs, document their successful viewing, and meet the requirement for its EMTs completing this training.

The full protocols are available at https://www.mass.gov/lists/emergency-medical-services-statewide-treatment-protocols.

The deadline for compliance with this Statewide Treatment Protocol update remains April 1, 2020.
