PM 111 ADVANCED MEDICAL LIFE SUPPORT
This course provides students with interactive lectures, teaching, experiential laboratory, and evaluation stations in the areas of patient assessment, airway management, assessment of the shock patient, dyspnea/respiratory failure, chest pain, altered mental status, and abdominal pain. The course emphasizes using scene size-up, history and physical examination to systematically rule-out or rule-in possibilities and probabilities of the patient’s medical problem. The course offers the opportunity to begin in an assessment-based approach and progress to a diagnostic-based approach to develop a specific treatment plan for a specific medical condition, resulting in a differential diagnosis. Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be certified as an Advanced Medical Life Support (AMLS) Provider by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT). Lecture/Lab: 5 hours per week. 1 Credits Corequisites: PM 101, PM 102, PM 103, PM 105. Note: A combination of BI 215 and BI 217 may be taken in place of BI 113 . Department consent is required.
