PARA 102 - Paramedic Clinical I

1 credits (6 lab)
This clinical course provides the paramedic student an opportunity to practice physical assessment and documentation skills in a hospital emergency department as the clinical setting. Procedures including airway management, EKG interpretation, IV insertion, and medication administration, are also practiced as treatment interventions under the supervision of a designated clinical preceptor within the emergency department. Although there are 90 total clinical hours in this course, the scheduling of these hours may vary from week to week depending upon the clinical agency’s ability to accommodate the student’s placement within the emergency department of the facility. Additional hours may also be required if necessary for skill acquisition, before proceeding to the second clinical course.
