EMS 213 - Paramedic Psychomotor II

This is an advanced lab course that focuses on the application of paramedic psychomotor skills in high-pressure, real-world scenarios. Students will refine their patient assessment, differential diagnosis, and treatment planning skills while enhancing their ability to function as both team members and team leaders in emergency situations. Key areas of focus include newborn delivery (normal and complicated), neonatal and pediatric resuscitation, and managing mass casualty incidents. Students will practice triage techniques and apply Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) principles in various emergency settings. Throughout the course, students will continue to develop leadership skills, ensure the safety of all personnel, and maintain professionalism, compassion, and cultural competency in patient care. At the end of the course, summative evaluations will assess students’ competency in performing critical skills and their readiness to perform as an entry level Paramedic.
