EMS 1115 - Advanced Operations
2 Credits
Builds on the skills learned in EMS 1110 Advanced Operations. This includes additional ambulance driving training and a more difficult driving obstacle course, ambulance service leadership, and patient care report writing for increasingly complex patients and scenes. Students will also learn and practice management of Multiple Casualty Incidents using the Incident Command System command structure. Other topics may be covered based on student interest, including but not limited to: interfacility transportation, assessment and treatment of complicated patients, high-tech patients, pediatrics, geriatrics, and public health concerns. Students will need to demonstrate eligibility to drive MNSCU vehicles during the first week of class. Prerequisites: EMS 1105 or equivalent or instructor permission.
