3.00 Credits
3 HRS. Theory and applications of direct and alternating current motors and generators; armature winding, field winding, induced voltage, types of AC, DC machines, parallel operation, speed regulation, power factor, efficiency and losses. (2 lecture and 2 lab hours per week) (Prerequisite: ELEC 120 ) S
-
5.00 Credits
5 HRS. This course is an introduction to the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) System. Students will become familiar with the components of the EMS System operations and the roles, responsibilities, legal and ethical issues of paramedic sciences. Students will also learn the significance and attributes of implementing community illness and injury prevention programs and the techniques to maintain well-being of the paramedic. The clinical component of this course allows students to develop an understanding of paramedic fieldwork.
-
2.00 Credits
2 HRS. The students develop the art of compiling patient history data as well as techniques of physical examination of patients. Students learn the concepts of a focused history, detailed physical exams of medical and trauma patients, the methods for assessment, reassessment and clinical decision making. The students learn the techniques of communication with patients, proper documentation methods, and integration of assessment-based management of patients as the cornerstone of critical thinking and clinical decision making.
-
2.00 Credits
2 HRS. This course involves a structured clinical experience that allows students to apply patient assessment skills in clinical environments such as emergency department, the hospital clinical area, pre-hospital and intra-facility settings.
-
3.00 Credits
3 HRS. During this course, the students integrate pathophysiological principles of pharmacology and the assessment findings to formulate a field impression with implementation of a pharmacological management plan. The student will learn to differentiate the chemical, generic, official, trade, nonproprietary, and proprietary names of drug products. Students will become familiar with the responsibilities and scope of management of medication administration.
-
3.00 Credits
3 HRS. This course will review the preparatory core material, pathophysiology, assessment and management of medical patients with puluonary and cardiovascular emergencies, IV access, pharmacology, drug administration, and both personal and radio communications. (Prerequisite: Admission to program.)
-
7.00 Credits
7 HRS. Students apply the concepts of anatomy and pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system. The students use pathophysiological principles and the assessment findings to formulate a field impression and implementation of a treatment plan for a patient with system pathology. A detailed discussion includes: epidemiology, pathophysiology, assessment techniques, and the management of adult and pediatric patients with cardiovascular diseases.
-
7.00 Credits
7 HRS. Students apply the concepts of anatomy/pathophysiology to the assessment and management principles of: gynecological, perinatal, postpartum, neonatal, neurology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, urology, hematology, and toxiciology patients. The students learn to integrate the pathophysiological principles and the assessment findings to formulate a field impression and to implement a treatment plan for a patient with the diseases listed in the above areas. Students become familiar with prevention techniques and the management of infectious/communicable diseases. The students learn the pathophysiological principles, complicating factors, and the management of environmental emergencies. The clinical component focuses on patient assessment techniques, which allows students to enhance their skills and to develop an in-depth understanding of numerous medical problems.
-
6.00 Credits
6 HRS. This course is an introduction to the components of a comprehensive trauma system. The students learn the principles of the kinematics (mechanism of injury) of trauma to expand their assessment and management skills to include the principles of: pathophysiology, assessment and trauma management of shock, burns, soft tissue, musculoskeletal, head and facial, spinal, thoracic, and abdominal trauma. A clinical emphasis will be placed on trauma care, which allows students to enhance their patient assessment skills and to develop an in-depth understanding of isolated and multi-system traumatically injured patients.
-
4.00 Credits
4 HRS. The students learn the functional components of the incident management system and the principles of multiple casualty incidents. An overview of rescue situations will be given to develop an awareness of the various types of rescue circumstances the paramedic may encounter. This course will also overview incidents involving hazardous materials, with discussions on treatment and transportation considerations of semi-decontaminated patients. Students will also participate in simulated rescue exercises.
