Last Date of Approval: Spring 2021
1.75 Credits
Total Lecture Hours: 0
Total Lab Hours: 0
Total Clinical Hours: 0
Total Work-Based Experience Hours: 110
Course Description:
This course is designed to prepare the student for the Paramedic level as outlined by the 2009 National EMS Education Standards for the Paramedic. This course is the clinical component of EMS 769 . Students will complete 110-hour clinical experience in the hospital and prehospital setting. Clinical emphasis will be devoted to the emergency department, intensive care unit, coronary care unit, pediatrics, labor and delivery, and psychiatric departments. Students may begin field experience time with prehospital EMS agencies. Upon successful completion of this course, students will gain knowledge that will allow them to have a positive impact on the lives of their patients while providing emergent medical care within the communities that they serve.
Corequisites: EMS 769
Mode(s) of Instruction: traditional/face-to-face
Credit for Prior Learning: This course offers an opportunity for students to earn Credit for Prior Learning for skills that they have brought with them to Iowa Central. For more information, please ask the instructor and see the Iowa Central Community College catalog.
Course Fees: Simulation Center Access: $25.00
Common Course Assessment(s): Clinical competencies and assessments.
