Once it is activated by an incident that causes serious illness or injury, the focus of EMS is emergency medical care of a patient on site. This comprehensive educational program prepares students to enter the field of EMS at the entry level position of Emergency Medical Technician. Successful completion of this program, following the DHEC guidelines, will result in the ability for the student to obtain state and national level certification to obtain employment within emergency services. This program follows the South Carolina State Standards for Emergency Medical Services.

Program dress is as follows: • Ceil blue scrubs (top and bottom) or ceil blue scrub pants with an ACE EMS Program t-shirt, general ACE tshirt, or a t-shirt with feeder school logo. • Students will be required to wear the appropriate ACE EMS Dress Uniform in the ambulance clinical setting, as well as on any designated field trips or days where guest speakers may be present within the classroom.(Teacher will announce these days prior to event.) . These uniform requirements will be discussed later in the syllabus. Expectations for Class Students are to arrive each morning, sign the daily attendance roster, put up all items and gather required materials for the day, then begin working on their DCE (Daily Cerebral Exercise) journaling assignment until all students have arrived and announcements have been made. Once daily instruction begins: • Students will be required to always be professional in the classroom and community. The program that the student has chosen to take requires interaction within the community and requires a high level of skill to manage patients in life-or-death situations. It is imperative that these lessons and skills begin and are demonstrated in the classroom environment before a student will be approved for community engagement. • Classroom time will include both didactic hours as well as practical/skills lab hours. It is imperative for students to be present to meet the required DHEC hours and obtain the required knowledge to pass this course. Ifa student needs to miss a day, please email me ASAP, and have the student refer to Google Classroom for missed assignments so they can stay on track with course pacing. While feeder school events are an important part of senior life, and will be excused, please be aware that they will still be missing required DHEC hours. Careful consideration needs to be made on this, and prioritizing which events should be attended needs to be carefully considered. DHEC hours cannot be made up. • As we will be in this class four blocks per day, I will allow students to snack, if they clean up their mess, and food is not brought into the skills lab area. Same for drinks, but please keep them in spill proof containers. Should this become problematic, this privilege will be taken away. • Daily classroom cleaning duties will be assigned to students at the beginning of each month. These duties will rotate monthly be
