MOBILE EMERGENCY CARE AND RESCUE (PARAMEDIC) Evelyn Draper, Program Director Associate Professor: Evelyn Draper; Instructors: Sally Brush, Col- een B. Koga; Medical Advisers: James Arango, M.D., Richard White, M.D., Adjunct and Clinical Faculty (see faculty listings). Description — A paramedic is a person who renders advanced life support to persons at the site of an illness or injury or enroute to a hospital facility. They function under the direct supervision of an Emergency Room Physician or Registered Nurse and are certified for such functioning by the Utah State Division of Health. Education —The two-year applied science degree program in Mobile Emergency Care (Paramedic) is based on a curriculum designed to provide an academic background in science, health related fields and communication. The first year provides the general college requirements and a foundation that prepares the student to meet the demands of the paramedic classes. Satisfactory completion of the first year requirements including: (1) A "C" or better in health science courses or equivalent classes and (2) An overall GPA of 2.7 or above, is a prerequisite to both application and/or acceptance into the second year of the program. Courses and clinical experience designed specifically for the emergency care field are included in the second year of the program. Application Procedure —Students are eligible to apply for admission to the Mobile Emergency Care Program upon completion of the following: (1) Admission Requirements for Weber State College. (2) Satisfactory completion of the first year requirements. (3) Completion of the Paramedic Program application form by designated date. (4) Current EMT-A Utah certification with verification of at least six months experience as an EMT-A. (5) Passing scores on a physical dexterity and agility test. (6) Completion of two personal reference forms. (7) A personal interview. (8) The Paramedic Program Committee recommendation. Employment Outlook —Employment within the State of Utah is presently limited to those agencies authorized by the state to operate paramedic services. Salary is commensurate with the job description and the employing agencies. —Gjen ^Ihtorn erjif- raflor 1 Records JBiigi *p- Composite & Intbro'eptf -f-tpgrams 104 Program: Mobile Emergency Care (Paramedic) — Associate of Applied Science Degree I.
