Paramedics receive significant medical emergency training. They study anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, medical procedures, and emergency management. Clinical rotations and hands-on training let them apply their abilities in real life.
Paramedics respond to situations with a variety of medical equipment. These include defibrillators to normalize cardiac rhythms, Intravenous therapy (IV) fluids and drugs to stabilize patients, airway management equipment to help patients breathe, and immobilization aids to stabilize fractures or spinal injuries.
Before taking a patient to a hospital, paramedics swiftly examine their status, identify life-threatening conditions, and stabilize them. Paramedics provide critical pre-hospital emergency medical care. Their experience, equipment, and ability to work under duress allow them to make life-saving judgments. Paramedics can specialize in many emergency medicine fields. They help save lives in the healthcare system.
EMT- Basic who want to expand their life-saving abilities and scope of practice.
- Paramedic certification with accredited hours.
- BLS, ACLS, PALS, PHTLS, AVERT and AMLS.
- Critical care paramedic CCP (optional).
- Education: Applicants for most paramedic programs must have a high school diploma or an equivalent (such as a GED).
- Age Requirement: Most paramedic programs have a minimum age requirement ranging from 18 years old.
- EMT Certification: Before enrolling in AITI paramedic program, applicants must be certified as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT).
- Background Checks: Because paramedics operate in high-stress circumstances, background checks, including criminal record checks and drug testing, are often undertaken during the application process to guarantee the safety of patients and coworkers.
- Anatomy & physiology and medical terminology are required, but AITI would provide A&P during the program.
There are two crucial parts to the Paramedic program that must be accomplished for it to be successful:
- Written Evaluation: A written assessment is required to evaluate your understanding of the course material. It tests your knowledge of key concepts and principles covered in the EMR program.
- Skills Evaluation: Skills Evaluation: This evaluation focuses on demonstrating your proficiency in cardiology, medical and trauma assessment and pharmacology. AITI is following NREMT psychomotor assessment exam to make sure the student is comfortable and well prepared for NREMT, state or employer exam.
Successful completion of the Paramedic program is determined by achieving the core learning objectives and demonstrating proficiency in these skill areas. The emphasis is placed on your understanding and application of the course material rather than a set duration of instruction.
