From:
Subject:
Resolution No.
5491 Adopting an Agreement between the City of Chandler and Dignity Health to provide required Neonatal Resuscitation Provider education for Chandler Fire Department (CFD) paramedic students.
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council pass and adopt Resolution No.
5491 Adopting an Agreement between the City of Chandler and Dignity Health to provide required Neonatal Resuscitation Provider education for Chandler Fire Department (CFD) paramedic students.
Background:
For ten years, CFD has conducted a paramedic training program in conjunction with Phoenix College. Through a rigorous 10-month course conducted within the Department, firefighters have become certified as paramedics.
To reduce costs and provide CFD firefighters an optimal education, the Department is applying for accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) for its own paramedic program. Currently, CFD has been approved by CAAHEP to begin the Letter of Review (LoR) process, which requires CFD to comply with the current Maricopa Community College District’s (MCCCD) paramedic educational curriculum. This curriculum requires paramedic students to become certified as a Neonatal Resuscitation Provider. Resolution No.
5491
allows CFD to enter into an agreement with Dignity Health to provide the educational requirements that CFD paramedic students need to become certified in the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP).
The term of the agreement is one year and commences on July 1, 2021.
Financial Implications:
The
Chandler Fire Department will pay the educator $270 per two-hour classroom session taught. It is expected that within fiscal year 2022, sixteen Chandler Fire paramedics will be fully trained in Neonatal Resuscitation provided within the single two-hour classroom session, for a total overall cost of $270. The training fee of $270 will be paid out of existing Chandler Fire funds in account line 101.2220.5814.0.0.0.
