Description

The goal of this course is to develop a planned program of observation and practical experience with an organization providing emergency medical services at the Paramedic/Advanced Life Support (ALS) level. Students will perform the functions of an entry-level Paramedic under the guidance of a preceptor on an ALS ambulance. Students will perform assessments and invasive procedures in a ???real world??? environment. Students will experience firsthand the skills and knowledge required to act in the capacity of a Paramedic. This course also continues the clinical internships as well.This is part four of a four-part series as set forth by the National EMS Education Standards.
