We wish all Fisdap instructors could attend the Research Summit, but even if you can't make it to this year's conference, you can make research happen by auditing your student data.
On February 10th and 11th, educators from around the country will convene in Minneapolis for the 2012 Fisdap Research Summit, an annual event where participants use Fisdap data to conduct critical EMS educational research.
We need your support! Please take some time to update your student records before February 3rd.
To help, please:
- Audit student data - If you have randomly audited ten percent of a student's data, go to the Admin section of Fisdap and click the "Grad Status" button to indicate that the student has "good data" for research.
- Set each student's graduation status - Go to the Admin section of Fisdap and click the "Grad Status" button. Indicate which students have graduated, completed the program but failed to graduate, or left the program.
- Enter your students' National Registry results - To archive your students' National Registry cognitive and practical exam scores, go to the Admin section of Fisdap and click the "Testing" button. Click the "Report Registry Scores" tab and follow the prompts to enter your students' results.
Note: Fisdap only uses data from students who have successfully graduated, have "good data," and from whom we have received consent.
