Abstract
As EMTs (Emergency Medical Technician), they will be required to attend a certain number of hours of continuing education each year to maintain, update, and expand their knowledge and skills. Continuing Education courses must be designed to keep up with the rapid changes in medicine. But, there are no standard CE curricula including reasonable subject matters and contents in this country, This paper analyzed many different CE curricula in advanced countries and examined the survey for educational needs to develop a standard CE curriculum. The following alternative plans to improve was proposed : (a) The subject matters should be enlarged and the contents subdivided. (b) The reasonable school hours of each subject matter should be allocated. (c) The applicable curriculum to the field affairs should be designed. (d) The frequency of CE should increased to expand an educational chance. (e) The educational circumstances should be improved, the educational outcomes be evaluated and flowed back. On the basis of the above alternatives plans, this paper proposed a model for the standard CE curriculum.
