ACADEMIC and COURSE REQUIREMENTS

High standards have been deliberately set for this training program. While realizing the effort and sacrifice the students will be making to attend the course, the following standards will be implemented fairly but firmly.

Attendance

This Paramedic program is designed so that each student MUST ATTEND EACH AND EVERY CLASS SESSION. Each student will be given a syllabus of the class dates and times. Announcements in class by the Instructor take precedence over the syllabus. It is the student’s responsibility to modify their personal schedule around these dates and times.

Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each lesson, therefore each student’s signature is required on each class attendance sheet. The lesson will start promptly at the scheduled time unless delayed by the Instructor. If the student arrives late he will be marked tardy on the attendance sheet. The student is expected to remain in the classroom until dismissed by the instructor. Any student leaving the classroom without the permission of the instructor will be considered absent without excuse.

Three (3) excused absences are allowed. The fourth absence will cause the student to be placed on probation. Unexcused absences will not be tolerated. One unexcused absences will cause the student to be placed on probation. The second unexcused absence will be cause for dismissal.

There will be no “make up” classes scheduled unless the entire class was cancelled by the Lead Instructor. No individual “make up” classes will be scheduled for a student that was absent.

Mandatory Classes

The Lead Instructor reserves to right to make any individual classes “Mandatory” to attend. In the event a student is absent for a “Mandatory” class it will be considered that

they have not completed the requirements of this training program and will not be qualified to take the certification test unless the student can attend the exact class missed at another prior approved course site and can provide proof of their attendance prior to the end of the course or earlier as required by the Lead Instructor.

Tardiness

The student that is tardy three times will be given one absence on the attendance record.

The student is considered tardy if they are not in the classroom when the lesson begins. If you are late it is your responsibility to sign in on the day of class. If you are late for class and forget to sign in on the attendance sheet before the end of that class you WILL BE CONSIDERED ABSENT AND WILL NOT be allowed to sign in at a later date without prior authorization of the Lead Instructor.

Emergency Absences

Emergency absences will be considered on an individual bases. Proof of reason for  absence may be required at the Lead Instructor’s discretion. TWO EMERGENCY absences will be permitted during the course. Written proof for emergency absences may be required at the Instructor’s request. Once you have accrued TWO absences you will be placed on attendance probation. The following will be considered emergencies.

* Any incident that leads to the student seeking treatment in an emergency room or by a physician for which they have a doctor’s excuse.

* Any incident that leads to the student’s direct family member seeking treatment in an emergency room. Direct family members are considered as follows: The student’s Spouse, Son, Daughter, Grandchild, Brother, Sister, Parent, Grandparent, Stepchild, Stepparent, Stepsister, Stepbrother or other person considered on an individual basis approved at the sole discretion of the Lead Instructor.

* Absence due to attendance of a funeral of any direct family member (see above).

* Any incident that the Lead instructor considers an emergency. This will be considered on an individual basis.

NOTE: The SIXTH absence regardless to the reason shall disqualify the student from completing the course requirements. The recommendation to allow the student to complete the course will be based upon current academic standing, quality of class participation, ability to perform practical skills that have been covered thus far in class and validity of reason for the absences and will be made at the discretion of the Lead Instructor.

Test Scores

The student must achieve a written test score of 80%, practical skills practice participation score of 80% and Skills Exam/Mock Boards test score of 80% by the end of the course for successful course completion and to be eligible to take the National Registry of EMT Paramedic licensure exam, and;

Exams, Tests & Quizzes

At least Fifteen (15) written examinations will be given during this course. ONE missed examination will be allowed to be made up ONLY IF THE ABSENCE IS EXCUSED. Unexcused missed examinations will be given a zero as the test score. Quizzes may also be given in class with or without prior notice. Missed quizzes will not be rescheduled or made up under any circumstance. A score of zero will be given for each quiz missed. Quizzeswill be averaged into a single score which will then count as one test toward the students average. Quizzes will be administered solely at the discretion of the Instructor.

One during the didactic portion, one during the clinical portion and one during the final 100 hours of the field summative evaluation. A student receiving a fail mark on any oral exam may be allowed to re-test at the discretion of the Lead Instructor, the examiner or the course Medical Director. The decision of the Course Lead Instructor the examiner or Course Medical Director on permission to re-test and Pass/ Fail of oral exams is final.

 

Clinical Rotation

The clinical rotations are designed for students to observe health care professionals in the  administration of patient care. The rotations provide for a variety of situations for the student to apply the information, skills and knowledge they have learned to the patient care setting. This is the students opportunity to learn from experienced physicians, nurses, paramedics and others in the health care profession.The total number of clinical hours required will be based upon patient contacts.

Each student must complete the minimum number of contacts required by the 2000 DOT curriculum AND the number of clinical hours required by this program. Additional clinical hours may be incurred in order to obtain the total number of patient contacts required for completion. Program Instructors may require additional clinical hours if a student’s performance warrants remediation.

Hospital clinical rotations will begin upon completion of the class and lab sessions on the corresponding module for those students who have demonstrated competency and only after competency verification in the classroom.. All scheduling will be directed by and through the Lead Instructor or Clinical Coordinator and only through facilities approved by this course. All students will comply with the policies and requirements set for by the clinical rotation agency with which they are scheduled. No more than two (2) students may be scheduled in the same clinical area at the same time, with the exception of the morgue experience, unless otherwise specified by the clinical host facility and approved by the Lead Instructor or Clinical Coordinator.

Once you have scheduled Clinical Rotation time with a department you are expected to attend during the time you scheduled. If you are absent from your scheduled time without prior notice and approval of cancellation you will be counted absent the same as if it were class attendance. There shall be no more than one student scheduled for Clinical Rotation time at the same time at the same service.

Each student must submit one patient assessment form per patient per clinical rotation assignment along with the clinical performance form for that assignment. It is the responsibility of the student to provide proof of attendance with verifying signatures for all clinical rotations on a weekly basis. Only those students who have completed all required hospital clinical hours will be allowed to take the course final examination. These examinations will be given only 1 time.
