EMTP
1034 AEMT Practicum III
(0-4-1)
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 in the clinical setting.
Prerequisite: Acceptance into the EMS program.
Corequisite: None.
Offered: Summer.
