Prerequisite: Para 360 At the completion of this unit, the paramedic student will be able to integrate pathophysiological principles of pharmacologic management plan. The paramedic student will be able to safely and precisely access the venous circulation and use mathematical principles to administer medications. Modern emergency medical service (EMS) is based on sound principles, practice, and research. The paramedic of today must be knowledgeable in all aspects of prehospital emergency care. This course will be a cornerstone of EMS education to refl ect current trends in prehospital care. Based on sound scientifi c principles, we have been careful to ensure that the course refl ects the trends toward evidenced-based practice. However, practices and formularies are different among different regions of the country and among countries. We have attempted to make the course as comprehensive as possible. The knowledge and skills outlined in this course are best learned in the classroom, skills laboratory, clinical, and then the fi eld internship settings. (Fall, Spring)
