Description

The Clinical Placement Course is designed to provide the Primary Care Paramedic (PCP) student exposure to diverse patients across the lifespan to facilitate application of newly acquired knowledge and skills into practice in a health care facility Emergency Department. The clinical placement provides the opportunity for the student to incorporate assessments, pharmacology, and skills in the treatment of patients of all ages. Students will act as a member of the multidisciplinary health team and develop an awareness of the roles and responsibilities of other health professionals while developing strategies to work effectively within a team setting. Students are assigned to an RN or LPN for the duration of their placement and will 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, history, assessment, clinical presentations, and diagnostic findings into the treatment of the patient.
