Emergency Medical Services 1

Emergency Medical Services 1 is the first in a sequence of EMS courses. EMS 1 is designed to teach students how to recognize and respond to various emergencies. Students will review basic anatomy and physiology as it relates to injury management and treatment. Students will review basic information needed for all phases of a healthcare professional. Information that students are exposed to will include legal and ethical implications, communications, safety, infection control and professionalism. In this course, students will learn what skills are necessary to recognize and care for emergencies in adults, children, and infants until professional medical help arrives.

Lung Models

While learning about the Respiratory System, students were tasked with the challenge of creating a functional lung model out of 2-liter bottles, balloons, and straws. These were some of the models they created!
