    Description
    This course provides the first phase of field internship training to prepare the paramedic student intern to render pre-hospital advanced life support (ALS) within an organized EMS system based on course content equivalent to the U.S. Department of Transportation's National EMS Education Standards for Paramedics (2009). The student will progress through record keeping and increasing patient care responsibilities from observation of a team to working as a team member to functioning as a team leader in actual patient care in the pre-hospital setting. The student experience will cover all aspects of medical and traumatic emergencies, advanced patient assessments, and advanced care on an ALS vehicle under the supervision of a licensed paramedic approved by the Local EMS Authority. In addition, the student must complete 30 advanced life support contacts as defined in the Calif. Code of Regulations, Title 22, Div. 9. This course is an intense one, requires more than usual study hours, TBA requirements, and the student’s total dedication for successful completion. This program is accredited by the CAAHEP.
