School Overview  \nDidactic Phase  \nThis is the first of a three-term sequence within the Paramedic Program. This 480-hour course is designed to provide the foundational didactic and psychomotor education and training necessary to successfully complete the Paramedic Program. The didactic instruction represents the delivery of primary cognitive material, while lab/skills instruction directs and reinforces practical application of the course content. All courses within the Program meet or exceed the minimum training requirements mandated by the State of California, Code of Regulations Title 22.  \nStudent learning outcomes  \nUpon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:  \n• To prepare competent entry-level paramedics in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains with or without exit points at the Advanced Emergency Medical Technician and/or Emergency Medical Technician, and/or Emergency Medical Responder levels.  \n• Exhibit proficiency in all technical skills required of emergency medical care and transportation of critical and emergent patients;  \n• Demonstrate professional attitudes and ethical behaviors consistent with the expectations of the profession, area employers and the local medical community;  \n• Demonstrate competency in all areas outlined in the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technician cognitive and psychomotor examinations.  \n• A typical schedule for Core Term 1 is as follows but may be adjusted  \n• 480-hour schedule:  \n• The first term meets for 20 weeks, Wednesday – Friday 08:00-17:00 with a one-hour lunch break. Each week will consist of two 8-hour days of lecture and one 8-hour day of lab work.  \nSpecialties Phase  \nThis is the second of a three-term sequence within the Paramedic Program. In this 240-hour course, students will apply skills that demonstrate principles and concepts of anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, clinical symptoms and diagnosis as they pertain topre-hospital emergency medical care of the sick and injured. The students will rotate  \nthrough specialty areas of the hospital departments: pediatrics, pediatric intensive care unit, labor and delivery, surgery (airway management), respiratory therapy, other selected hospital areas, assisted living, skilled nursing facilities, and facilities for the mentally and physically challenged.
