Program Learning Outcomes

  •  
    • Integrates a complex depth and comprehensive breadth of knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of all human systems.

    • Integrate comprehensive knowledge of EMS systems, safety/wellbeing of the paramedic, and medical/legal and ethical issues to improve the health of EMS personnel, patients, and the community.

    • Integrate comprehensive anatomical and medical terminology and abbreviations into the written and oral communication with colleagues and other health care professionals.

    • Integrate comprehensive knowledge of the pathophysiology of major human systems with patient assessment and management of illness and injury.

    • Integrate scene and patient assessment findings with knowledge of epidemiology and pathophysiology to form a field impression, develop a list of differential diagnoses and apply clinical reasoning to modify the assessment and formulate a treatment plan.

    • Integrate comprehensive knowledge of pharmacology to formulate a treatment plan intended to mitigate medical and traumatic emergencies and improve the overall health of a sick or injured patient.

    • Integrate complex knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology into the assessment of a sick or injured patient to develop and implement a treatment plan with the goal of assuring a patient airway, adequate mechanical ventilation, and respiration for patients of all ages.

    • Integrates assessment findings with principles of epidemiology and pathophysiology to formulate a field impression and implement a comprehensive treatment/disposition plan for a patient suffering a respiratory emergency.

    • Integrate assessment findings with principles of epidemiology and pathophysiology to formulate a field impression and implement a comprehensive treatment/disposition plan for a patient suffering a cardiovascular system emergency.

    • Integrate comprehensive knowledge of causes and pathophysiology into the management of cardiac arrest and peri-arrest states.

    • Integrate a comprehensive knowledge of the causes and pathophysiology into the management of shock, respiratory failure or arrest with an emphasis on early intervention to prevent arrest.

    • Integrate assessment findings with principles of epidemiology and pathophysiology to formulate a field impression and implement a comprehensive treatment/disposition plan for a patient suffering from neurologic, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary system and gynecological medical emergencies.

    • Integrate assessment findings with principles of epidemiology and pathophysiology to formulate a field impression and implement a comprehensive treatment/disposition plan for a patient suffering from endocrine, hematologic, immunologic, and psychiatric emergencies.

    • Integrate scene observations, pathophysiological principles and patient assessment findings to formulate a field impression and implement a treatment plan for a patient suffering a soft tissue, head, neck, or spine injury.

    • Integrate scene observations, pathophysiological principles and patient assessment findings to formulate a field impression and implement a treatment plan for a patient suffering from chest, abdominal, musculoskeletal or environmental trauma.

    • Integrate pathophysiological principles and patient assessment findings to formulate a field impression and implement a treatment plan for special populations of patients including pregnant females, new-born infants, pediatric patients, geriatric patients and patients with special challenges suffering medical or traumatic emergencies.
