MOREOVER:
Learning Outcomes: As outlined in the learning plan, apply the theory, concepts, and skills involving specialized materials, tools, equipment, procedures, regulations, laws, and interactions within and among political, economic, environmental, social, and legal systems associated with the occupation and the business/industry and will demonstrate legal and ethical behavior, safety practices, interpersonal and teamwork skills, and appropriate written and verbal communication skills using the terminology of the occupation and the business/industry.
In addition, detailed instructions will be provided to the student concerning the types and number of clinical shifts needed (48 hours total).
It is the responsibility the STUDENT to ensure they have completely followed their instructor's directions.
FAILURE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE 24 HOURS IN AN EMSP ASSIGNED EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, AND 24 HOURS ON AN EMSP ASSIGNED AMBULANCE, WILL RESULT IN FAILURE OF BOTH THE CLASSROOM AND CLINICAL COURSES.
Also, attending a clinical shift in an incorrect area or department will result in failure of both courses! Emergency Departments and Ambulances are the only sites needed for an EMT-Basic student.
Any questions or concerns about your schedule must be brought to your instructor AT LEAST ONE WEEK PRIOR to your shift to avoid catastrophic consequences in both the classroom and clinical courses!
Additional information is provided in the "Laboratory Manual and Clinical Packet" required for EMSP 1501.
In order to receive your AC Connect Email, you must log in through AC Connect at https://acconnect.actx.edu .
If you are an active staff or faculty member according to Human Resources, use "Exchange". All other students, use "AC Connect (Google) Email".
It is the student’s responsibility to become familiar with the Student’s Rights and Responsibilities Publication.
Students will be required to abide by the Student Code of Conduct which can be found in the Student's Rights and Responsibilities link above.
Clinicians may ask students to leave the clinical setting at any time. Whether the student is permitted back into the clinical department will be determined after meeting with department heads. A student banned from a clinical site may result in an "F" for the course.
The clinical sites are generally TOBACCO FREE. As such, the USE OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS on clinical rotations IS PROHIBITED!
***ABUSIVE, VULGAR, LEWD, OR PROFANE SPEECH WILL NOT BE TOLERATED***
SEPARATION OF ROLES:
In response to Texas Administrative Code, Title 25, Part 1, Chapter 157, Subchapter C, Rule §157.36, students MUST NEVER attempt to gain clinical experience outside an EMSP assigned clinical shift. At no time, while gaining clinical experience, may a student be considered operational staff or crew; paid or otherwise.
Grading criteria is provided in the EMT Handbook required for EMSP 1501.
The clinical (EMSP-1163) letter grade will be the same as the student's EMSP 1501 classroom, letter grade - provided clinical rotations are successfully completed as evaluated by EMSP program faculty and the clinicians assigned for each clinical shift.
Failure to successfully complete the clinical course also constitutes failure of the classroom (EMSP 1501) course.
Should a student miss a clinical day, an attempt to reschedule may be made at the discretion of program faculty. However, any rescheduled clinical day WILL NOT be at the students convenience. The earliest possible day will be reassigned.
Missing a clinical day may result in an "F" for the course! This includes the classroom portion of this class (EMSP 1501).
Attendance is mandatory. Clinical space is limited and reserved well in advance of the start date of this course. Missing an assigned clinical day may result in failure of the course.
A "perfect" clinical schedule (from the student's perspective) is not guaranteed; however, all reasonable efforts will be made to get the student into the clinical setting.
Clinical shifts are selected from a commercially owned scheduling web site described in class. After a student has access to the site, clinical shifts MUST be chosen and completed as expeditiously as possible. Attempting to choose a schedule late in the semester will likely result in an inability to create an appropriate schedule. Failure to successfully complete clinical rotations will result in an "F" for both courses (EMSP 1163 & 1501)
Extra shifts are not permitted as space is limited.
Clinical dates are chosen online by the student from a commercial website. Access costs approximately $17 and is described by the course instructor.
