Class 8 working on patient assessment and people skills! We never wanna be robotic when it comes to assessing a patient and that’s why we practiced this to learn what to look for and to treat the patient as a whole.

Class 6 on pediatric calls. How we treat children and the parents.

Occasionally we will have guest speakers come to class to speak on a topic that pertains to Ems and how we need to treat or change how we assess a patient . We had Amanda come in and speak on how we as EMTs can treat patients who are on the spectrum. The so and don’ts, and how we need patience. We also have our own Chris talk on Patients with Down syndrome, as his cousin has Down syndrome.

There are nights when we get patients that just had a weeeee too much to drink, or could just be a diabetic who’s had too much to drink and his sugar sky rockets. Either way, class 6 learning to determine if this is a medical emergency or behavioral or both.

Class 7 learning about patient assessment with class 6 assisting as patients.
Rae, our lead instructor going through the process of assessment and why it is so important. Students learn that through assessment we find out how we need to care for our patients and what to do in an emergency with what we find out.

Class 5 on their MCI call. Aftermath of an active shooter incident. This was one of our most chaotic calls yet, and while class 5 did very well, in EMS there is always room for improvement ! Proud of them! Thank you as well to our wonderful actors!

Class 5 on trauma calls. This one is a freak home explosion, but they had to learn to work quickly to identify life threats, apply a cervical coller and properly place a patient on a backboard, all while conducting a thorough physical assessment .
This class has come a long way and will soon be ready for their mass casualty call next Friday!
