Description

Designed as the capstone clinical course for the paramedic education program, students apply the skills learned throughout the program to an intense urban externship as they work alongside experienced paramedics. Students serve as team leaders at selected urban ambulance services and perfect clinical skills at high volume urban centers. The focus of the experience is to broaden the paramedic's cultural knowledge, provide high volume clinical experiences, and partcipate in a system that is perhaps different than what is enrcountered in rural Maine. This extersnhip generally occurs outside the local areas and additional fees are required to cover room, board, liability insurance, and travel expenses. This is one of three required clinical courses at the paramedic level.
