ABSTRACT
This paper reports a survey taken of 79 college and university medical schools seeking the status of policy formation regarding in-house created educational materials at each location. About 65% (51) of the institutions had no definitive policies, but over half of those were aware of the need. Twenty-six provided either written documents or a narrative describing how they approach the problem. Only two recognized the special area of media production. A model policy was synthesized from the aggregate. The model provides for support and recognition of creative service units and a philosophical framework upon which the entire group, including content experts, production staff, and parent institution, can share income and recognition equitably.

A 22-week training program for EMT-A technicians, developed at the University of Connecticut Health Center, has been described. The program is coordinated by a trauma surgeon and a security officer, and teaching is carried out by faculty, residents, emergency-room nurses, experienced rescue-team members, EMT firemen, and the like. Lectures and videotaped practical problems are used. High levels of teaching and cooperation between the university health center and the community were maintained.
