5.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) System. Students will become familiar with the components of the EMT-Basic education including: roles & responsibilities, legal/ethic issues, well-being of the EMT, illness and injury prevention, principles of pharmacology, assessment of medical or trauma patients, management of behavior emergencies, management of geriatric and pediatric patient, and management of OB/GYN patients. A brief clinical component of this course allows the student to develop an understanding of EMT fieldwork.

2.00 Credits
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 ethic issues of paramedic science. 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 Skill/Lab component of this course allows the student to develop an understanding of paramedic fieldwork.
-
3.00 Credits
The student will be able to 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.
-
2.00 Credits
The student will 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. The students will overview incidents involving hazardous materials, with the discussions on treatment and transport considerations of semi-decontaminated patients. Students will also participate in simulated rescue exercises.
-
2.00 Credits
The student will develop the art of compiling patient history data as well as techniques of physical examination of patients. Students will learn the concepts of a focused history, detailed physical exams of medical and trauma patients, the methods of assessment, reassessment and clinical decision-making. The student will learn the techniques of communicating 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
This course involves a structural clinical experience that allows the student to apply patient assessment skills in clinical environments such as emergency departments, the hospital clinical areas, prehospital, and intra-facility settings. At the least involves 90 contact hours.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the components of a comprehensive trauma system. The students will learn the principles of the kinematics (mechanism of injury) of trauma to expand their assessment and management skills will include the principles of: pathophysiology, assessment and trauma management of shock, burns, soft tissue, musculoskeletal, head, facial, spinal, thoracic and abdominal trauma. A clinical emphasis will be placed on trauma care that allows the students to enhance their assessment skills and to develop an in-depth understanding of isolated and multi-system traumatically injured patients.
-
4.00 Credits
Students will apply the concepts of anatomy and pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system. The student will use pathophysiological principles and the assessment findings to formulate a field impression and implementation of a treatment plan for a patient with cardiopulmonary systems. A detailed discussion will include: epidemiology, pathophysiology, assessment techniques, and the management of adult and pediatric patients with cardiovascular diseases.
-
4.00 Credits
Students will apply the concepts of anatomy/pathophysiology to the assessment and management principles of: gynecological, perinatal, postpartum, and neonatal, neurology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, urology, hematology, and toxicology patients. The student will 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 will become familiar with prevention techniques and the management of infectious/communicable diseases. The student will also learn the pathophysiological principles, complicating factors, and the management of environmental emergencies. The clinical components will focus on patient assessment techniques, which allows the students to enhance their skills and to develop an in-depth understanding of numerous medical problems.
-
3.00 Credits
This course includes: the pathophysiology, assessment, management of pediatric illnesses and injuries, abused and neglected children, terminally ill patients, high-tech patients, acute interventions in home care patients, effects of aging process on the different body systems, language barriers with patients, homeless patients, physically challenged patients, emotionally and mentally impaired patients, and behavioral and psychiatric disorders.
