This course provides an opportunity to apply clinical concepts, strategies, and skills in a supervised hospital clinical environment. This clinical experience allows the student to assess patients in the hospital clinical environment and practice a variety of skills in the following clinical settings: Emergency Department; Intensive Care Unit; Coronary Care Unit; Surgical Department; Critical Care Unit; Pediatric Care Unit; Psychiatric/Behavioral Unit; and Obstetrical Unit. Minimum patient contact types, skills, and age groups must be tracked. Students will participate in assigned clinical time each month and will include day, evening, night, and weekend shifts so that the student will receive education and experience that closely simulates actual prehospital care functions. PREREQUISITE: Successful completion of EPM 2205.
