Protocols, Patient Care Guidelines, and Procedures

Skagit County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) protocols were updated in 2024. You should use the online protocols to get the most up-to-date version instead of using saved or printed copies.

Skagit County EMS protocol smartphone app

Skagit County EMS personnel can also access the protocols by downloading the Skagit County EMS protocol custom-branded smartphone application for iOS or Android. Using your smartphone, go to https://acidremap.com then select Washington and Skagit County EMS.

Emergency responder training and education

The Skagit County EMS Physician Medical Program Director (MPD) supervises and approves all EMS personnel training and certification. Skagit County EMS runs a county-wide ongoing training and evaluation program (OTEP) for all credentialed EMS personnel, including Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs), Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), and paramedics.

As current Skagit County EMS personnel, you can find the EMS training calendar, forms, protocols, and EMS system Standard Operating Guidelines (SOGs) by logging into the Skagit County EMS online learning management system.
