EMSP 2513 - Paramedic Field Internship

EMSP 2412 - Paramedic Clinical II  

Corequisites: EMSP 2303 - Paramedic Practicum  

Course Description:
Paramedic Field Internship provides evidence that the student is capable of acting as a team leader in managing the emergency care and treatment of an injured or ill patient at the paramedic level. The student will demonstrate competency in this role.  While all skill sets should have been achieved prior to initiating the internship, patient types and pathologies may be used from this experience to complete the minimum graduation academic requirements as set forth in CoAEMSP accreditation documents and the Tennessee Office of EMS.

Student Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will demonstrate knowledge of the following standards:

1. The student will demonstrate entry level competency in the psychomotor domain consistent with that of a paramedic as confirmed by the clinical preceptor’s evaluation.
2. The student will demonstrate competency in the affective domain consistent with that of a paramedic as confirmed by the clinical preceptor’s evaluation.
3. The student will demonstrate competency in the cognitive domain consistent with that of a paramedic as confirmed by the clinical preceptor’s evaluation.
4. Entry level competency will be determined by using actual observation of the student by the trained preceptor. Successful evaluations of the student will be presented to the clinical coordinator, instructors, program director and medical director. All of these individuals must have a consensus that the student has met terminal competencies.
