Description

Paramedics work as team members in highly stressful environments with other first responders and health care professionals. As a team member, paramedics require strong professional, communication, collaboration, mentorship, self-reflective, and leadership abilities. Providing safe and competent care to patients and their families requires understanding the importance of research and evidence-based practice. Paramedic practice is guided by a Code of Ethics, Standards of Practice, legislative/regulatory requirements, and the ability to maintain physical/mental health and injury prevention. Paramedic practice also requires the practitioner to recognize the value of continuous quality improvement, risk management, and continuing competency processes. This course will discuss these concepts and provide learners with the resources and support to practice as a professional paramedic.
