Description

Building on the skills and knowledge presented in previous courses, this externship will allow students to assume the role of paramedic. Participants will spend this rotation perfecting clinical and assessment skills in a variety of settings. Students will immerse themselves in emergency ambulance response, interfacility transport ambulances, OB units, Intensive Care Units, and physicians offices. Students will assume the role of "crew chief" where they are responsible for developing leadership skills while partnered with an experienced EMS preceptor. Students must complete the minimum number of skills and hours established by MEMS and this program to be eligible for certification exams. This is one of three required clinical courses at the paramedic level. Prerequisite(s): EMS216 Corequisite(s): EMS 229
