MIH Requirements

The State of Connecticut will be accepting MIH applications soon and part of the application process will need to be an educational plan submitted by prospective providers.  

This MIH CP course can be used for that educational plan or this course can be used to train and educate individuals looking to be part of the MIH program with their local provider.

If you would like more information on how CPR Training Professionals can work with your service to provide the education plan for your MIH application, please email director@ctemsparamedicprogram.com 

Community paramedicine expands the role of EMS professionals to help fill a critical gap in the health care system—responding to the medical needs of underserved communities and ultimately improving the quality of life and health for these populations.  From managing chronic disease to preventive care to coordinating health services, the community paramedic collaborates with a dedicated team of health care professionals to address health problems within their communities, reduce hospital readmissions, prevent unnecessary ambulance transports, and keep patients where they want to be: in their homes.

Community Health Paramedicine offers clarity and precision in a concise format that ensures comprehension and encourages critical thinking. This innovative training solution prepares experienced paramedics to expand their role within their existing scope of practice, including:

• Assisting the primary care physician in providing preventive patient care
• Establishing a successful therapeutic relationship with the patient
• Navigating the patient to appropriate social services  
• Coaching the patient to achieve self-management goals

 The community paramedicine program is designed to educate experienced ALS providers with the required skills needed to function within an MIH, community paramedicine program. Program topics will include high-risk patient populations, community resources, chronic disease management, the pathophysiology of disease, and lab techniques and tests. The program is built on 2 foundations: 

•  Transitioning from Paramedic to Community Paramedic
• Transitioning from Emergent to Preventive- non emergent care
