3 Credits This faculty directed practicum provides the opportunity for each student to develop competency in clinical skills with the hospital and prehospital setting. Clinical rotations occur in cardiac care units, newborn nurseries, labor & delivery, post-anesthesia units, same-day surgery, geriatrics, respiratory, cardiology, emergency room, operating room, and others under the direction of a designated preceptor. The prehospital rotation allows the student to assume the role of the Paramedic in order to perfect clinical and assessment skills. During this rotation the student will primarily observe and assist the precepting Paramedics. The student works under the direction of an experienced Paramedic. Prerequisite: Admission into the Intermediate Emergency Care Certificate.
