EMSP 290 Emerging Issues in Paramedicine
Emerging Issues in Paramedicine is designed to provide EMT-Paramedics, who received their training in a non-credit-bearing academic setting or training academy, an opportunity to expand upon their education in pursuit of an academic degree. This course is a critical component in the Health Care Professional degree program. Students will use the 14 Attributes described in the EMS Agenda For The Future to identify and explore emerging issues with additional emphasis on current and future trends in the clinical scope of practice. Students will be provided readings and information on appropriate topics to be completed outside of class time. The face-to-face classroom component will be a mixture of content delivery and discussion with a majority of the time spent on student-led interactive discussions and activities designed to reinforce the content. Approximately 1/3 of the course will be spent in an individualized self-directed learning opportunity there the student will identify and explore in detail an emerging issue suited to their personal interest.
