Special Patient Populations

Special Patient Populations provides the paramedic student with information they need about special populations: pediatrics, geriatrics, disabled patients, patients requiring chronic care, and patients of abuse, assault, and neglect. Instruction will integrate assessment findings with principles of epidemiology and pathophysiology to formulate a field impression and treatment plan, taking into account special considerations for the varying populations. Two hours of lecture per week
