Emergency Medical Technology/Technician (EMT Paramedic)
Description:
A paramedic is a medical profession who is trained to adequately assess and appropriately treat sick and injured people at an advanced life support (A.L.S.) level of care for medical and trauma cases, primarily in the pre-hospital setting. Paramedics are required to think independently, to exercise good judgement, to communicate effectively with others, and to work well in multi-disciplinary environments.
The program involves the study of human anatomy and physiology, diagnosis, and treatment of patients in a variety of medical and trauma emergencies, advanced procedures in emergency care, emergency equipment, and mobile communication systems. Physical conditioning is also emphasized. Paramedic training is provided to the student by utilizing the facilities of NAIT, active treatment hospitals, advanced life support ambulance services, and other allied emergency services. The final semester features both an ambulance practicum and a hospital practicum.
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
