This course is the third of three practicums designed to provide the Advanced EMT
student with the opportunity to perform a history and physical examination to
identify factors affecting the health and health needs of a patient. Formulate a field
impression based on an analysis of assessment findings, anatomy, physiology,
pathophysiology, and epidemiology. Relate assessment findings to underlying
pathological and physiological changes in the patient’s condition. Effectively
communicate in a manner that is culturally sensitive and intended to improve the
patient outcome. Students will also have the opportunity to perform basic and
advanced interventions as part of a treatment plan intended to mitigate the
emergency, provide symptom relief, and improve the overall health of the patient
