(3) Successfully complete an orientation of the local EMS system as prescribed by the LEMSA which shall include policies and procedures, treatment protocols, radio communications, hospital/facility destination policies, and other unique system features. The orientation shall not exceed eight (8) classroom hours, except when additional hours are needed to accomplish subsection (a)(4) of this section, and shall not include any further testing of the paramedic basic scope of practice. Testing shall be limited to local policies and treatment protocols provided in the orientation.
(b) If the LEMSA requires a supervised field evaluation as part of the local accreditation process, the field evaluation shall consist of no more than ten (10) ALS patient contacts. The field evaluation shall only be used to determine if the paramedic is knowledgeable to begin functioning under the local policies and procedures.
(c) The LEMSA medical director shall evaluate any candidate who fails to successfully complete the field evaluation and may recommend further evaluation or training as required to ensure the paramedic is competent. If, after several failed remediation attempts, the medical director has reason to believe that the paramedic's competency to practice is questionable, then the medical director shall notify the Authority.
(g) Accreditation to practice shall be continuous as long as licensure is maintained and the paramedic continues to meet local requirements for updates in local policy, procedure, protocol and local optional scope of practice, and continues to meet requirements of the system-wide EMSQIP pursuant to Section 100168.
