Participation should consist of a minimum of 10 clinical or field patient contacts and include
- observation of emergency department operations for a period of time sufficient to gain an appreciation for the continuum of care
- at least five live-clinical or field-patient contacts (in a hospital, clinic, nursing home, doctor's office, or with local EMS agencies)
- no more than five clinical or field-patient contacts via simulation.
Process/Skill Questions:
- How many live and simulated clinical experiences are needed to meet the state clinical rotation requirements?
- Where can clinical rotations be done?
- Where will EMS students find local EMS agencies to join and further assist with supervised EMT clinical rotations?
- When can EMT students begin supervised clinical rotations?
