EMS 220

MICT I (10 CR)

Prerequisite: Admission to the MICT program

MICT I is the first of four courses in advanced out-of-hospital emergency medical care leading to the opportunity to sit for the National Registry Examination for Paramedics. In this narrowly focused but intense foundational course, the paramedic student will gain a significant knowledge of patient assessment, pharmacology and medication administration techniques, electrocardiography, advanced airway management, and paramedic scope of practice. Much material will be covered rapidly, and emphasis is on organization, internalization and synthesis of the basic knowledge of the discipline in this 9-week course. Additionally, during the initial psychomotor teaching labs, students will gain the ability to assess patients, administer medications, treat dysrhythmias and manage the airway through manikin practice. Enrollment in certain courses may require a professional liability fee of $16.00. Students will be notified via their JCCC student e-mail account if the fee is due and instructions on how to pay the fee.24 hrs. lecture/wk.
Associated Costs: In addition to the course tuition, fees, and textbooks, this course has additional expense considerations that are estimated to be $700 to $1,000.
