The implementation process: First, we tried and built cooperative relation with the enterprises and public institutions which had strong cooperative intention, high demand and advanced techniques by field investigation. Second, we signed order training agreement, made clear the rights and obligations of both sides. Then, we selected the best students and formed the ordered class. Both sides organized the professional construction committee together. After much argument we thrashed practical talent training projects and professional development plans and implemented them strictly. We also built up a high quality team which involved full-time teachers as well as part-time teachers with balanced age and education.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Paramedic and emergency personnel may encounter directly many events that threat their own wellbeing during their daily work. This study was conducted to examine the prevalence rate of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among two groups of paramedic and emergency personnel in south-east Iran.METHODS: The study employed a descriptive design and was conducted in four hospital emergency wards and a pre-hospital emergency base supervised by Kerman Medical University. Using Mississippi PTSD, we assessed the prevalence rate in paramedics (n=150) and emergency personnel (n=250).RESULTS: The two groups had different levels of education, marital status, experience of traumatic events, work hours per month, and gender. Most (94%) of paramedic and hospital emergency personnel reported moderate PTSD. The two groups had significant different levels of PTSD in all subscale.CONCLUSION: The study suggests that health care managers should organize systematic and dynamic policies and procedures in dealing with PTSD to assist both groups of personnel.
