Description

The Ambulance Placement Course is designed to provide the student opportunities to integrate knowledge and skills to provide care for diverse patients across the lifespan in an ambulance setting. Under the guidance of a preceptor, students apply the knowledge and skills gained in the classroom to real emergency situations. The overall outcome of the ambulance placement is for the student to meet all entry to practice PCP competencies. Students are assigned to a Registered PCP or Advanced Care Paramedic (ACP) for the duration of their placement and will only perform skills under direct and indirect supervision. While on placement, the student acts as a role model for the profession and ambassador for Northwestern Polytechnic, while integrating the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice into their professional practice. The student will maintain the highest level of professionalism throughout the placement while integrating leadership, delegation, history, assessments, clinical presentations, and diagnostic findings into the development of a treatment plan based on a provisional diagnosis.
