EMTP 2200 - Introduction to Advanced Patient Care for the Paramedic

Introduction to Advanced Patient Care for the Paramedic is an overview of the paramedic’s role as a professional member of a healthcare team. Areas of discussion include the standards associated with professional behavior, roles and responsibilities, medical ethics, and EMS systems. A concentrated study of human anatomy and physiology will also be covered with particular emphasis on those body systems whose dysfunction exhibits an immediate life-threatening condition to the patient. Various forms of vascular access are introduced along with several laws of physics concerning water and electrolyte distribution, pH regulation, cardiac output and cellular respiration. Students are required to obtain liability insurance coverage ($1,000,000-$3,000,000).
