Description
This is the fifth of five (5) courses which follow the United States Department of Transportation Paramedic National Standard Curriculum. In this course, the students will be exposed to recognizing, assessing and managing EMS operations. Also, the students will be exposed to both intrahospital and out-of-hospital (OOH) clinical experiences. The purpose of clinical education is to provide students with opportunities to reinforce knowledge, skills, and abilities acquired in the classroom and laboratory settings. When provided with opportunities to practice with actual patients, students transition from a basic understanding to an advanced level of comprehensive data-gathering, application and analysis. (Prerequisite: Current EMT national certification and/or state licensure, AHA BLS Healthcare Provider level card required and acceptance to Paramedic Program required to enroll.)
