EMS 211 - Cognitive Paramedicine II

This course builds upon the foundational knowledge gained in the previous lecture course (EMS 201), expanding students’ understanding of medical emergencies across the lifespan and in special populations. This course covers a broad range of topics, including diseases of the ear, nose, and throat (ENT), hematology, immunology, infectious diseases, and endocrinology. Students will also explore abdominal, environmental, and obstetric emergencies, as well as pediatric and geriatric care, with an emphasis on providing appropriate care for patients of all ages. The course delves into EMS operations, including mass casualty incidents, incident management, and the unique challenges of hazmat and terrorism response. Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) principles will also be integrated. Additionally, students will review key program content to ensure readiness for the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) Paramedic examination.
