Progression and Remediation
Progression Requirements
The Paramedicine Technology and EMS Professions programs have specific requirements to progress. Cognitive psychomotor, and affective aspects of the curriculum are integrated. Students must master specific cognitive prerequisites prior to the initiation of each phase of clinical and field education. Professional conduct is another element of the curriculum that is evaluated for course progression.
Progression requires students to:
1.
Complete didactic requirements
2.
Participate in laboratory practice
3.
Demonstrate mastery of lab requirements
4.
Observe procedures at clinical and field locations
5.
Perform procedures, within the scope of practice, with assistance from the qualified clinical or field preceptor
6.
Demonstrate continued development of entry-level practitioner proficiency competency requirements
8.
Maintain a passing grade of “C” in all courses
If a student is unsuccessful at completing steps 2-7, they will require remediation.
Evaluation of the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective aspects of the Paramedicine Technology/EMS Professions curriculum includes written and oral tests, demonstrations and observations of students’ performance during clinical and field rotations.
Remediation Process
Failure to successfully complete any competency or recheck evaluation will result in the student returning to the classroom for remediation in that specific examination, then to the lab for practice, then to clinical or field for participation. Then student may then be evaluated for competency on the successfully completed exam. The student will receive a successful or unsuccessful grade. Failure to demonstrate competency after three (3) attempts will result in the student being referred to counseling for continuation in the Paramedicine Technology Program.
