Focuses on the conduction system of the heart, electrocardiography, as well as interpretation and the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Any failure in this course, PEM 117C, or PEM 150C will trigger a failure in PEM 161C (even if a passing grade in PEM 161C has been achieved).

Covers the assessment, pathophysiology and management of trauma including: head, spinal, chest, abdominal, soft tissue, and musculoskeletal trauma. MCI, environmental emergencies, and HAZMAT are also covered. Critical thinking and problem solving will be emphasized using a scenario-based approach. Any failure in this course, PEM 117C, or PEM 142C will trigger a failure in PEM 161C (even if a passing grade in PEM 161C has been achieved).

Formative, scenario-driven course designed to develop team leadership skills and clinical decision-making. Emphasis will be placed on paramedic assessment skills, and treatment aims/outcomes. Students will draw from the knowledge and interventions learned in Cardiology, Medical Emergencies, and Physical Assessment. Any failure in PEM 117C, PEM 150C, or PEM 142C will trigger a failure in this lab course, which includes the practical portion of the above listed courses.

Formative, scenario-driven course designed to develop team leadership skills and clinical decision-making. Emphasis will be placed on paramedic assessment, diagnostic skills, and treatment aims/outcomes. Students will draw from the knowledge and interventions learned in Advanced Cardiology, Medical Emergencies, Advanced Trauma, and Pharmacology courses. Any failure in PEM 126C, PEM 135C, and PEM 244C will trigger a failure in this lab course, which includes the practical portion of the above listed courses.

Summative, scenario-driven course designed to challenge team leadership skills and solidify clinical decision-making. Emphasis will be placed on paramedic assessment, diagnostic skills, and treatment aims/outcomes. Students will draw from the knowledge and interventions learned in PEM 201C.

Summative, scenario-driven course designed to challenge team leadership skills and solidify clinical decision-making. Emphasis will be placed on paramedic assessment, diagnostic skills, and treatment aims/outcomes. Students will draw from knowledge and interventions learned in PEM 210C and PEM 278C.

Prepares students up success within a variety of clinical systems. Emphasis will be placed on topics such as universal precautions, body mechanics, fire procedures, incident prevention, clinical protocols and procedures, as well as a review of the patient-populations which the students will encounter in PEM 194C. Interpersonal and communication skills will also part of the course and students will gain an understanding of the clinical documentation systems.

Comprehensive hospital experience that focuses on medical theory, patient assessments, treatment modalities (skills), and affective behaviors expected of a paramedic. A minimum of 224 hospital hours is required.

Advanced-level course including assessment, paramedic diagnosis, and treatment for all special populations including ob/gyn, pediatric, geriatric, psychiatric, chronic disease, patients with special needs. Pediatric Advanced Life Support certification (PALS) is an integral part of the course.

Covers all aspects of field operations and practice including roles and responsibilities, medical control, written/oral communications, occupational stress, safety and legal considerations, and MCI. Protocol interpretation and introduction to research design are covered.
