Paramedic Clinical

This course is designed to introduce the student to individualized experience in the field of emergency medical services in specific areas of preparatory, airway and become familiar with hospital departments and ambulance operations. This course is the first of a four-course clinical sequence. Students will participate in a series of clinical observations (in areas such as adult and pediatric emergency departments, critical care units, morgue, labor and delivery units, psychiatric units, and other hospital departments as needed) and ambulance field experiences with a focus on progressively higher levels of patient care responsibilities. Students will complete eight-hour shifts in hospitals and with ambulance crews. The number of minimum patient experiences for each student is delineated. Some students, however, may be required to schedule additional shifts to acquire an acceptable minimum of competencies and experiences. Skills are demonstrated and practiced in the laboratory, hospital and/or field setting. Students must satisfactorily perform all practical skills in order to successfully complete the course.
