EMSP 2106 Paramedic Applications

This capstone course is designed to synthesize, apply, and assess knowledge, skills, and professional behaviors acquired throughout the paramedic program. Students will engage in comprehensive patient simulations, scenario-based learning, clinical reasoning exercises, and team-based care planning. Emphasis is placed on the integration of assessment, pathophysiology, treatment decision-making, leadership, and communication in complex prehospital environments. This course supports final preparation for national certification and paramedic licensure.

This course is designed in accordance with the 2021 National EMS Education Standards and is further guided by both the National EMS Scope of Practice Model and the Georgia Scope of Practice. These scope documents define the clinical and operational expectations for paramedic-level practice and shape the depth and breadth of learning objectives. As scope of practice models are periodically updated, instructional content and assessments are reviewed to ensure alignment with the most current competencies required for safe and effective patient care in Georgia.
