Clinical placements include rotations through both chronic and acute care hospital settings while field placement in ambulance services provides opportunities to assess and treat patients in the actual work environment at a primary level of care. Physical and emotional conditioning is emphasized to apply skills under the most demanding situations likely to be encountered in the prehospital environment.
