EMS 101 - EMT - Basic Clinical I
1 Credit(s) Hours: 6 hrs.
This course covers the New York State Department of Health Bureau of Emergency Medical Services curriculum for preparation as an emergency medical technician (EMT). It reviews material including, but not limited to: infants and children, other special populations, ambulance operations, and working as part of a pre-hospital care team including paramedics. Lab work includes: bleeding control, CPR, patient assessment and management, splinting, patient immobilization, moving techniques, and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) awareness. Skills are subsequently demonstrated and evaluated in the laboratory, hospital and/or field setting. Students will participate in a series of clinical/field observations of eight-hour shifts either in an emergency department (clinical) or on an ambulance (field). Students must satisfactorily perform all practical skills in order to successfully complete the course. The number of minimum patient experiences is delineated. Some students, however, may be required to schedule additional shifts to acquire an acceptable minimum of competencies and experiences.
