IV. Student Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to:

• Applies fundamental knowledge of the EMS system, safety/well-being of the AEMT, medical/legal and ethical issues to the provision of emergency care in the clinical setting.
• Integrates complex knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the airway, respiratory and circulatory systems to the practice of EMS in the clinical setting.
• Uses foundational anatomical and medical terms and abbreviations in written and oral communication with colleagues and other health care professionals in the clinical setting.
• Applies comprehensive knowledge of the pathophysiology of respiration and perfusion to patient assessment and management in the clinical setting.
• Applies fundamental knowledge of life span development to patient assessment and management in the clinical setting.
• Uses simple knowledge of the principles of the role of EMS during public health emergencies in the clinical setting.
• Applies to patient assessment and management fundamental knowledge of the medications carried by AEMTs that may be administered to a patient during an emergency in the clinical setting.
• Applies knowledge (fundamental depth, foundational breadth) of additional upper airway anatomy and physiology to patient assessment and management in order to assure a patent airway, adequate mechanical ventilation, and respiration for patients of all ages in the clinical setting.
• Applies scene information and patient assessment findings (scene size up, primary and secondary assessment, patient history, and reassessment) to guide emergency management in the clinical setting.
• Applies fundamental knowledge to provide basic and selected advanced emergency care and transportation based on assessment findings for an acutely ill patient in the clinical setting.
• Applies fundamental knowledge to provide basic and selected advanced emergency care and transportation based on assessment findings for a patient in shock, respiratory failure or arrest, cardiac failure or arrest, and post resuscitation management in the clinical setting.
• Applies fundamental knowledge to provide basic and selected advanced emergency care and transportation based on assessment findings for an acutely injured patient in the clinical setting.
• Applies a fundamental knowledge of growth, development, and aging and assessment findings to provide basic and selected advanced emergency care and transportation for a patient with special needs in the clinical setting.
• Applies knowledge of operational roles and responsibilities to ensure safe patient, public, and personnel safety in the clinical setting.
