EMT 236Paramedic II - Track 1

Catalog

EMT 236 is the second in a sequence of three rigorous hybrid courses designed to prepare students for paramedic licensure. Students must successfully complete all courses consecutively, within a continuous three-semester sequence, to qualify for licensure examinations. EMT 236 utilizes cognitive, psychomotor, and affective standard objectives specified in the U.S. Department of Transportation 2010, EMT-Paramedic National Standard Curriculum, and the National EMS Education Standards. Students are exposed to preparatory divisions of the curriculum, including airway management, review of cardiology, human body systems (pathophysiology/ emergency assessment, & care), a review of electrocardiography, public health, and EMS operations. Competency is obtained through demonstration of curriculum elements in summative testing and clinical laboratory followed by sequential clinical setting release. Students will be expected to complete approximately 168 hours of clinical rotations outside of the scheduled class time.
