FALL 2010 EMS CLASS SCHEDULE

Program Description:

An Emergency Medical Services (EMS) practitioner performs entry- and advanced-level emergency care as it relates to assessment, treatment management and ongoing evaluation of the critically ill and injured patients. Specifically, the practitioner provides on-site medical care to emergency victims and transports them to area hospitals.

The practitioner must be emotionally stable and able to work under stress in life-threatenting situations; have the resource fulness to respond quickly in demanding conditions; and often must make evaluations based on sensory information. Since the work is physically strenuous, the individual must be able to lift and carry heavy weights and possess manual dexterity. A person entering this field tends toward activities of a humanitarian nature and prefers working directly with people.

The program is designed to orient students to entry and advanced-level as it relates to assessment, treatment, management, and ongoing evaluation of the critically ill and injured patients in their care.



Accreditation

The program is fully accredited by the Committee on Accreditation for the Emergency Medical Service Profession (CoAEMSP). Successful program graduates are awarded a certificate of completion in addition to the Associate of Applied Science in Emergency Medical Services Degree, which enables them to qualify for licensure as an EMT paramedic with the Texas Department of Health.
