EMT 298 - Community Integrated Paramedic Clinical Internship 2 CR
The clinical portion of the CIP course seeks to align the student with healthcare professionals specialized in chronic diseases, mental illness, handicapped patients, special needs patients, pediatrics, and any/all other non-emergent type patients. As well, it will bring attention to issues that are routinely not associated with the practice of a pre-hospital health care provider. Those might include well-being checks, home safety, environmental concerns, and potential abuse. The intention is to focus more specifically on these types of non-emergent patients and to glean knowledge for assessment and treatment skills as well as to mitigate problems without going to the emergency department. Students must complete the minimum amount of clinical hours as required by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Lab Fee
