Course Description

Practices the skills and behaviors learned in EMS 222 required for proficient medication administration, assessment and management of various trauma and medical patients, and interpretation of 12-lead ECG. Provides training in the skills lab setting using simulated patients. This is the third course in a three-course lab series. Prerequisites: EMS 211, EMS 221,EMS 231. Corequisites: EMS 212, EMS 232. Audit available.

Course Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
  1. Perform triage in a mass casualty situation.
  2. Demonstrate knowledge of the role of EMS and the paramedic in vehicle extrication and special rescues.
  3. Apply situational awareness and defensive strategies on potentially dangerous scenes.
  4. Demonstrate knowledge of previously learned skills in simulated scenarios.

Suggested Outcome Assessment Strategies

Daily preceptor evaluations sheets which will assess affective domain, psychomotor domain and cognitive domain and are to be filled out by the faculty working with the student.

Course Activities and Design

The determination of teaching strategies used in the delivery of outcomes is generally left to the discretion of the instructor. Here are some strategies that you might consider when designing your course: lecture, small group/forum discussion, flipped classroom, dyads, oral presentation, role play, simulation scenarios, group projects, service learning projects, hands-on lab, peer review/workshops, cooperative learning (jigsaw, fishbowl), inquiry based instruction, differentiated instruction (learning centers), graphic organizers, etc.
