This document must be submitted with the admissions packet no later than the second week of February in the year the student is applying.
This course is designed to stress practices applicable to the paramedic practitioner. Emphasis is placed on medication application, pharmacology and therapeutic concepts and practices. Various approaches are covered to ensure that the student receives broad exposure to all areas required for the paramedic practitioner. Experiments and case studies will be presented during this course. The student will utilize the knowledge of anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system to examine the mechanics of respiration, gases, regulation of respiration, foreign body airway obstructions and airway evaluation. In addition, the student will study the essential parameters of airway evaluation, airway management, and airway procedures. NOTE Requirement: Certification as a current Emergency Medical Technician and current CPR provider; Pre-requisites must be completed with grade of 'C' or better.
This course is designed to provide the student with the knowledge and skills to recognize the mechanisms of injury, trauma systems, patient assessment and emergency care. The course will also cover, in detail, the importance of length of time that elapses between the incident and definitive care. Additionally, the course addresses the major roles in death reduction in three periods of trauma: through community education, scene interventions, and rapid response. Trauma systems, appreciation of comprehensive trauma systems, blunt trauma, and penetrating trauma will be thoroughly discussed. NOTE Requirement: Certification as a current Emergency Medical Technician and current CPR provider; Pre-requisites must be completed with grade of 'C' or better.
This course is designed to prepare the paramedic student to manage numerous types of cardiology emergencies.

The student will be expected to achieve proficiency by performing these skills on actual patients in a clinical setting. Integrating pathophysiological principles, physical examination findings, formulating a field impression and implementing treatment for the patient with common complaints will be practiced during this time. Alternative learning experiences (simulations, programmed patient scenarios, etc.) will be available as needed. Proficiency in performing all steps and procedures safely and properly will be thoroughly evaluated. NOTE Requirement: Certification as a current Emergency Medical Technician and CPR provider; Pre-requisites must be completed with grade of 'C' or better.
