CPST for EMS?

I was talking to someone at work who is CPST and he said that there will be a class coming out designed just for EMS personnel and ambulance car seat usage and techniques. Has anybody heard of that?

I'm guessing he's talking about this: http://www.preventinjury.org/SNTtraining.asp

"Improving Occupant Protection for Non-Critical Pediatric Patients in Ambulances: A Training Curriculum for EMS Personnel" was designed to teach EMS personnel about selection and installation of ambulance-specific restraints and some types of conventional child restraints on the ambulance cot. General occupant protection principles and policy and protocol development are also addressed in the four-hour training, which combines lecture with hands-on exercises.

Not sure who is teaching this course or where it's currently offered but it does exist.

I could so use a course like that. I've been making do with what I've got so far, but it's less than ideal. I cringe at the things I've had to do with my peds pts. Thankfully, ambulance accidents are rare.
