Paramedic Experience II

Catalog description

This course provides supervised clinical and field experiences for paramedic students to apply foundational knowledge and develop core competencies in real-world environments. Students will participate in patient care within a clinical and/ or field setting, working alongside licensed healthcare professionals. Emphasis is placed on developing assessment skills, communication, professionalism, teamwork, the safe delivery of patient care, and documentation. Paramedic Experience II is one course in a series of Experience courses; these courses do not need to be taken in sequential order. This course is designed in accordance with the 2021 National EMS Education Standards and is further guided by both the National EMS Scope of Practice Model and the Georgia Scope of Practice. These scope documents define the clinical and operational expectations for paramedic-level practice and shape the depth and breadth of learning objectives. As scope of practice models are periodically updated, instructional content and assessments are reviewed to ensure alignment with the most current competencies required for safe and effective patient care in Georgia.
