The Paramedic Affiliate Program is designed for EMTs aiming to enhance their collaboration with Advanced Life Support (ALS) providers and elevate their clinical expertise. This course focuses on optimizing EMTs' roles within EMS teams, ensuring they can effectively support ALS in delivering high-quality patient care.
Through interactive lectures and simulated patient care exercises, participants will sharpen their problem-solving and decision-making skills essential for managing emergency scenarios. The program also emphasizes Crew Resource Management (CRM) principles to improve team coordination, communication, and operational efficiency in high-stress situations.
Participants will explore the roles and responsibilities within EMS systems, gaining a deeper understanding of how effective collaboration can enhance patient outcomes. The course covers key clinical practice guidelines, ensuring EMTs are well-prepared to contribute to the success of their teams.
Ideal for EMTs committed to advancing their skills, this program fosters a collaborative learning environment where participants can share experiences and techniques, ultimately improving the overall quality of emergency medical services.
As part of the program, EMTs will participate in a guided review of the ALS unit and key equipment used in advanced interventions. This familiarization ensures EMTs can efficiently assist ALS providers with airway management tools and patient monitoring devices such as cardiac monitors and ventilators.
