Adv. Emergency Resuscitation

By teaching Advanced Cardiac Life Support ("ACLS") and Pediatric Advanced Life Support ("PALS") methodologies and protocols, this course prepares the paramedic student in the integration of comprehensive knowledge of causes and pathophysiology into the management of shock, respiratory failure, respiratory arrest, cardiac arrest, and peri-arrest states with an emphasis on early intervention to prevent respiratory and/or cardiac arrest if possible.

Paramedic Cardiology 2

This course teaches the paramedic student knowledge and skills to integrate assessment findings with principles of cardiovascular anatomy, physiology, epidemiology, and pathophysiology to formulate a field impression and implement a comprehensive treatment plan for a patient with a variety of cardiovascular complaints.

Paramedic Hospital Field

This initial course provides the student with the foundation and opportunities to enhance his or her learning through the practice of paramedicine in both prehospital and health care environment with actual patient care experiences under the supervision of approved preceptors.

Paramedic Human Patient Simulation Lab

This course reinforces student learning through the practice of paramedicine in a controlled environment utilizing high-fidelity patient simulators and realistic emergency response scenarios with support and guidance of instructors. The student will apply assessment knowledge and demonstrate paramedic level skills in a variety of emergency response scenarios and assessments.

Paramedic Respiratory Mgt.

This course teaches the paramedic student to integrate complex knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology into the assessment to develop and implement a treatment plan with the goal of assuring a patent airway, adequate mechanical ventilation, and respiration for patients of all ages. Specific knowledge pertaining to the respiratory system is also provided to ensure the student is prepared to formulate a field impression and implement a comprehensive treatment plan for a patient with a respiratory complaint.

Advanced Patient Assessment Principles

This course teaches the paramedic student to integrate scene and patient assessment findings with knowledge of epidemiology and pathophysiology to form a field impression. By utilizing a structured and organized assessment process with knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, life span development, and changes that occur to the human body with time, the students will learn to develop a list of differential diagnoses through clinical reasoning, along with the ability to modify the assessment as necessary to formulate a treatment plan for their patient.
