Jeonnam Fire Department Promotes 'Non-Face-to-Face' Training to Enhance Paramedic Expertise Considering COVID-19

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Ma Jaeyoon) is continuously conducting non-face-to-face training to enhance the professionalism of paramedics despite the COVID-19 situation.

According to Jeonnam Fire on the 30th, the provincial fire training center sought various ways to improve the professionalism of paramedics and enhance the quality of emergency services by utilizing an online non-face-to-face education community during a time when active face-to-face education was difficult.

Depending on the fire conditions in each region, an SNS online learning room is operated for paramedics to share various field cases, including unique emergency activities, in real time.

Information and cases related to emergency activities within the province are shared, monthly topics are selected for discussion, and the latest medical trends related to emergency services can be acquired.

Additionally, emergency medicine specialist Dr. Kim Jaehyuk from the provincial regional emergency medical center was appointed as an advisory committee member to provide feedback and improve the professionalism of paramedics. He is also expected to serve as a mentor to newly appointed staff by helping improve their duties during field activities at frontline fire stations.

Seo Seungho, head of the Jeonnam Fire School, said, “This initiative was promoted to create a self-directed learning culture such as information sharing among paramedics instead of face-to-face education, which has spatial and temporal limitations, by utilizing online community education.” He added, “Going forward, Jeonnam Fire School will do its best to cultivate professional firefighting talents strong in the field, prioritizing public safety.”
