2025 Fall Semester EM1001/Lecture/HY - EMR Foundations | Credits 6.00 A comprehensive exploration of both theoretical principles and practical applications crucial for delivering effective patient care. This course employs a hybrid approach, combining online learning modules with in-person instruction and patient engagement to provide students with a rounded understanding of medical theory, practical skills, assessment techniques, clinical presentations, and diagnostics pertinent to the management of ill and injured patients. The course emphasizes active application of acquired theoretical knowledge through participation in skills, scenarios, and simulation environments. Through simulated patient care scenarios, and patient engagement students refine their ability to handle emergency calls efficiently, administer safe patient care, and navigate medical and trauma situations with assuredness. Within this course is a 16-hour Patient Engagement which offers hands-on experience for Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) students, focusing on assessment, communication, and interpersonal skills essential for professional practice. Under the guidance of an assigned instructor/preceptor, students will practice and refine skills in a supervised environment. Throughout the patient engagement, students will uphold the standards of the profession and represent Northwestern Polytechnic with integrity. They’ll integrate the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice into their professional conduct, while incorporating communication, history-taking, assessment techniques, clinical presentations, and diagnostic findings. This blended approach equips students with the skills, confidence, and expertise necessary to respond effectively to the complexities of emergency medical situations. Corequisite: EM1600, EM2500
