Wallace Community College  \nEMS Program  \nStudent Handbook  \nRevised 12-21-2020  \nINTRODUCTION  \nWelcome to LBW Community College’s EMS Program! You have joined a select group of students who have prepared for an exciting career in Emergency Medical Services. Hundreds of men and women have earned a certificate at the EMT or Advanced EMT level while others have earned an Associate in Applied Science in EMS at the paramedic level. LBW Community College has an excellent reputation for producing good entry-level EMTs and paramedics. Employers seek our graduates primarily due to the performance and attitudes following graduation. The graduates who preceded you have significantly shaped this EMS program by offering valuable insight from a student’s perspective. LBW Community College strongly encourages EMS students to enroll in the general education courses along with EMS courses so that the Associate in Applied Science degree will be earned.  \nLBW Community College values every student who attends the College and respects every student’s rights and privileges. This EMS Student Handbook has been prepared to allow you to carefully review the opportunities, rights, responsibilities, and policies that apply to you as an EMS student. Unless otherwise designated in an EMS course syllabus, these policies apply to each EMS course in which you enroll. If, for any reason, progression through the program is interrupted during a sequence, policies in the EMS Student Handbook and College Catalog at the time of readmission will apply. After you have read this handbook, please sign the agreement and return the form to the EMS program director. These signed agreements will be placed in your permanent file. Each person at the College is committed to your success as a student, a professional, and most importantly, as an individual. If you need additional assistance, please feel free to contact any faculty member or me. Again, welcome to LBW Community College.  \nRespectfully,  \nWayne Godwin, BS, RN, CEN, NRPEMS Program Director  \nPHILOSOPHY  \nEmergency medical services (EMS) education is directed towards men and women who have the capability and interest to become emergency medical technicians (EMTs), advanced emergency medical technicians (AEMTs), and paramedics. EMS educational programs should provide the student with knowledge of the acute, critical differences in physiology, pathophysiology, and clinical symptoms as they pertain to the prehospital emergency medical care of the neonate, infant, child, adolescent, adult, and geriatric patient.  \nThe Emergency Medical Services-Paramedic Program at Lurleen B. Wallace Community College is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs ([www.caahep.org](www.caahep.org)) upon the recommendation of the Commission on Accreditation of Education Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP) .  \nCommission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) 25400 US HWY 19 N., Suite 158  \nClearwater, FL 33763  \n727-210-2350 [www.caahep.org](www.caahep.org)  \nThe objective of EMS education is to develop the student’s cognitive, affective, and psychomotor abilities and to assist him/her in acquiring the critical judgment essential for rapid and practical clinical decision making, as well as skill-oriented delivery of sophisticated rescue techniques and medical procedures. EMS prehospital practice renders a significant service to health care delivery systems in our society. We believe that emergency medical technicians and paramedics are savers of lives that might otherwise be lost.  \nEMS Program Mission: The mission of the Emergency Medical Services Program at LBW Community College is to prepare competent entry-level Emergency Medical Technician – Paramedics in cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills) and affective (behavior) learning domains with or without exit points at the Advanced Emergency Medical Technician and/or Emergency M","cbCaiqBGdKpnLFJs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqBGdKpnLFJs","pdf",522581,"English","# Introduction\n# Philosophy\n# Admission Requirements\n## Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)\n## Advanced EMT (AEMT)\n## Paramedic","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the EMS Program Student Handbook?\",\"answer\":\"It helps students review the opportunities, rights, responsibilities, and policies that apply to them as EMS students.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the program’s educational objectives?\",\"answer\":\"EMS education is designed to build cognitive, affective, and psychomotor abilities and to support rapid, practical clinical decision-making in prehospital care.\"},{\"question\":\"What must applicants do before applying to the EMS program?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants must first apply to and be accepted to the college, then complete the Allied Health Application and be accepted into the EMS program before becoming eligible for EMS courses.\"}]","EMS Program Student Handbook - Revised 12-21-2020 | PDF",1790155678]
