EMS 143 - Emergency Medical Technician Practicum
Description: Designed to provide hospital, clinical, and field experiences for EMT students. Students will observe emergency department operations for a period sufficient to gain an appreciation for the continuum of care. During these experiences, students must demonstrate competency in patient assessments as outlined by the program. These experiences will be performed in an emergency department, ambulance, clinic, nursing home, doctor's office, etc. or on standardized patients in a simulation education setting. The student must participate in and document patient contacts in a field experience approved by the medical director and program director. Upon successful completion of EMS 142 , EMS 142L , and EMS 143, students will synthesize EMT standard of care and scope of practice, allowing the program to submit their name to sit for the exam required to become an NREMT certified EMT.
