The Paramedic Science Program prepares students to be competent entry-level paramedics. Today鈥檚 paramedics must have a firm grasp of anatomy and physiology, the pathologies of numerous disease processes, kinetics of trauma, pharmacology, basic and advanced life support skills and procedures, and have the ability to apply this knowledge to all age groups. Furthermore, the paramedic must be a leader, able to gain control of the chaotic scene environment, able to communicate with patients and family members and intelligently with physicians and other hospital personnel. Upon successful completion of the program, students will be ready to provide pre-hospital care to the ill or injured patient following the guidelines of standard patient care. The use of various web sites is a vital part of this program used in documentation of clinical rotations and course work.
