EMSP 230 Paramedic Internship and Evaluation
Students will be able to participate in a variety of prehospital and hospital-based clinical settings to develop the necessary competencies to properly perform the various psychomotor (field) skills utilized by paramedics. Students will perform patient care in both simulated scenarios and with real patients under direct observation of paramedic and other clinical preceptors. This course will evaluate students' psychomotor skills as well as determine if they possess the appropriate knowledge (cognitive) and attitude (affective) attributes required of entry-level EMT Paramedics. The field internship portion of this course will follow the completion of hospital and field-based clinical rotations. The final weeks of this course will be utilized to prepare students for the National Registry of EMTs (NREMT) written and practical paramedic examinations. Students successfully complete the HCC EMS program following successful completion of all clinical requirements and upon passing the final written and practical evaluations.
