MEDICAL ARTS TRAINING CENTER Hollywood, Florida PARAMEDIC TRAINING PROGRAM INTRODUCTION The PARAMEDIC TRAINING PROGRAM - PHASE ONE and PHASE TWO - is based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Emergency Medical Technicians of the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council (NAS/NRC). The program is designed to be presented in its entirety or in segments, depending • upon local needs and resources. If the student successfully completes the entire program, he will have met the criteria'.established by the NAS/NRC Task Force on Emergency Medical Technicians as an EMT -Paramedic. It should be noted that while 927 hours of instruction will be re- quired to bring the student the full level of paramedic competency, the depth of his competency will in large part depend upon the student's exposure to emergency situations during the clinical and field internship phases of instruction. PROGRAM OBJECTIVE The objective of the PARAMEDIC TRAINING PROGRAM is to develop skills in individuals who are seeking careers in emergency prehospital medical care, in order that they may work under the direction of a physician, (including standing orders) in providing emergency medical care in the field, at the scene, or during transit to an emergency care center. 0 4 85-34. I PROGRAM DESCRIPTION This training program is designed to provide the student with knowledge about the acute, critical differences in physiology, path- ophysiology, or clinical symptoms, as they pertain to the prehospital emergency medical care of the infant, child, adolescent, adult and geriatric patient. The student will have the opportunity to acquire clinical experience and practice skills related to the emergency medical care of these patients. The program consists of three components: classroom, clinical; (in hospital), and field internship. The time required to complete each component will depend on the ability of each student to successfully demonstrate that he has acquired the necessary knowledge and skills. The program is stuctured as follows: -Classroom: Lectures, discussions, and demonstrations presented by paramedic instructors, physicians, and others that are competent in the field. -Clinical: Instruction and supervised practice of emergency medical skills in critical care units, emergency departments, obstetric units and operating rooms (including anesthesia), and psychological crisis intervention centers. -Field Internship - Critical Evaluation of On-the-Dob Performance: Experience as an extra person on an intensive care vehicle (ambulance) which is equipped.with biomedical telecommunications and drugs necessary for advanced life support. The student is to be super- vised by a physician or nruse qualified in emergency medicine or by a State licensed EMT -Paramedic. The program and topics of study are achievement oriented and provide the student with: -The necessary knowledge and competency to accurately and reliably perform the functions and tasks stated and implied in the "Description of Occupation." and "Competency of the Paramedic." i � 5 85 34. . -k ON W PROGRAM DESCRIPTION (continued) -Instruction that encompasses (1) an indroduction to the responsibilities, career pathways in emergency medical services, and an introduction to patient history taking and physical examination skills; (2) biomedical communi- cations to include telemetry, use and maintenance of equipment, legal responsibilities, record keeping, emer- gency and defensive driving, and principles and techniques of light extrication; (3) pertinent anatomy, pathophysiology, history taking, physical examination, assessment and emergency treatment relating (a) to the cardiovascular system, including recognition of selected arrhythmias 4 _ associated with potential, acute cardiac compromises; (b) to the respiratory system, including pneumothorax, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute asthma, trauma to the chest and airway, respiratory distress syndrome, and acute airway obstruction; (c) to chest and abdominal trauma; (d) to medical emergencyes including acute abdomens, infec- tions, endocrine disorders (diabetes mellitus), and rapes; (d) to the central nervous system (medical) in regard to -. ; ':.. •.;' hemorrhagic stroke, vascular seizures, drug overdose, drug incompatibilities, and alterations in levels of t:. consciousness; (f) to the central nervous system (trauma) in regard to closed and open head injuries; cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and pelvic injuries; and alterations in levels of consciousness; (g) to musculoskeletal trauma, including massive external hemorrhage fractures and. s h; dislocations of the extremities and also, all fractures and dislocations of the extremities and also, all . fractures and dislocations of the cervical,.thoracic, lumbar, and pelvic regions, emphasizing those fractures and dislocations associated with the peripheral neurovascular V system, but excluding those with nerve compromise; (h) to obstetrical and gynecologic emergencies includingcomplications , u` of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trimesters, bleeding, atypical ,F} resentaion and exlam sia of rimi arous and multiparous P ► P P P P rf females; vaginal.bleeding; and rape; (i) to pediatric emergencies including respiratory conditions such as croup and epiglottitis, infections seizures, child abuse, z; aspirations, poisonings, and neonatal transfers; (fir) to e psychiatric emergencies including negotiations, diagnosis of, and intervention techniques with suicidal,.assaultive, destructive, resistant, anxious, bizarre, confused, alcoholic, = drug -addicted, toxic, amnesic, paranoid, drugged, raped, and assulted patients; (k) special situations including carbon _ monoxide and other noxious inhalations and poisonings, and, _.= as needed, in regard to near -drowning, submersion, overexposure to hot- or cold -weather extremes, electrocution, high altitude = incidents, burns environmental/industrial exposures; and (4) -= other knowledge and competencies as appropriate. C 6 85-34 . =1 1 PROGRAM DESIGN The program is divided into two phases. PHASE ONE containing 15 modules and PHASE TWO containing 19 modules. Each module is a complete, selfcontained package directed toward the attainment of skills and knowledge in a subject area. The emphasis of each module is on: 1) the identification of the skills and knowledge required of the student, 2) methods to assist the student in the accomplishment of these objectives, and 3) a procedure for the evaluation of student competency. Each module can be presented individually or combined with modules to construct a course for a selected group of students. Also in- cluded in each module are optional skills that have been demonstrated in prehospital care systems to be effective in the field when performed by paramedic personnel. The training program is presented using a variety of teaching strategies - lectures, group discussions, demonstrations, laboratory demonstrations, simulated practice sessions, clinical experience, and an internship on the vehicle. The thrust of this training is to develop specific skills and to develop general principles of diagnosis and treatment based on fundamentals of normal anatomy, and physiology and of pathophysiological processes. Students are encouraged to apply the general knowledge and principles presented in the course to a broad spectrum of specific patient conditions. A student will have successfully completed the program when he has demonstrated mastery of the skills and knowledge expected of him irrespective of the hours involved.
