Institution:

Henry Ford College

Subject:

Description:

This lecture course helps students to understand the pathophysiology of respiratory disease and neurological emergencies, then integrates this knowledge with assessment findings to develop a field impression and deliver appropriate treatments. This course dedicates an exceptional amount of time detailing the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of various types of trauma. The emphasis is on treating the "whole patient," avoiding treatment distractions of any singular injury. This course is field-based and is self-scheduled with our Clinical Coordinator after the Mid-Term exams for EMS 100 and EMS 106. Students must successfully pass their Mid-Term Exams, turn in complete Health Packets, proof of health insurance, and have purchased the required uniform pants & shoes prior to being allowed to go to the EMS 109 Clinical. Students will receive information from the Clinical Coordinator during the first week of courses. The Clinical Coordinator will come to see students during the EMS 100 class time since EMS 109 does not formally meet on campus. Prerequisites: EMS 200, EMS 205, EMS 210, and EMS 290 These courses must be successfully completed within the immediately preceding fall semester. All program entry prerequisites, without exception, must be completed by this time. Co-requisites: Concurrent enrollment in EMS 220, EMS 230, EMS 215 and EMS 295 is required. Suggested Prerequisites: ENG 131 and ENG 132. It is recommended that all students place into ENG 131 prior to attending any EMS course. Note: All advanced-level EMS students must maintain a current CPR card for the Healthcare Provider, American Heart Association.
