EMS – Emergency Medical Services (Department 531) EMS-192 Credits: 5 EMT-Basic The Emergency Medical Technician course serves as a vital link in the chain of the healthcare team. The EMT can recognize the nature and seriousness of the patient condition or extent of the injuries to assess requirements for emergency medical care. The EMT will administer appropriate care based on assessment findings. The EMT will lift, move, position and otherwise handle and transport of the patient to minimize discomfort and prevent further injury. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to either the Fire Protection Technician program (10-503-2) or the Emergency Medical Technician program (30-531-3). EMS-311 Credits: 4 Advanced EMT EMT-Intermediate Technician students are Wisconsin licensed EMT-Basics seeking to upgrade their skills to the EMT Intermediate Technician level. EMT-Intermediate Technician students perform emergency patient care, basic life support and limited advanced life support in the field, transporting injured and ill patients to hospital emergency departments. They also perform care in hospital emergency departments. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to the Emergency Medical Technician – Advanced program (30-531-6). Electrical Wiring Methods for Air Conditioning and Refrigeration

EMS-911

Credits: 2

EMS Fundamentals This course provides the paramedic student with comprehensive knowledge of EMS systems, safety, well-being, legal issues and ethical issues with the intended outcome of improving the health of EMS personnel, patients and the community. The students will obtain fundamental knowledge of public health principles and epidemiology as related to public health emergencies, health promotion and illness/injury prevention. Introducing students to comprehensive anatomical and medical terminology and abbreviations will foster the development of effective written and oral communications with colleagues and other healthcare professionals. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to the Emergency Medical Technician – Paramedic program (31-531-1) or the Paramedic Technician program (10-531-1). EMS-912 Credits: 4 Paramedic Medical Principles This course addresses the complex depth of anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of major human systems while also introducing the paramedic students to the topics of shock, immunology and bleeding. Prerequisite(s): Must be admitted to the Emergency Medical Technician – Paramedic program (31-531-1) or the Paramedic Technician program (10-531-1). Completion of or currently enrolled in EMS-911. EMS-913 Credits: 3 Advanced Patient Assessment Principles This course teaches the paramedic student to integrate scene and patient assessment findings with knowledge of epidemiology and pathophysiology to form a field impression. By utilizing a structured and organized assessment process with knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, life span development, and changes that occur to the human body with time, the students will learn to develop a list of differential diagnoses through clinical reasoning, along with the ability to modify the assessment as necessary to formulate a treatment plan for their patients.
