providers on ambulances or in fire departments. EMTs respond to calls ranging
from major emergencies to interfacility transports. In most healthcare settings,
EMT is the first step toward becoming a Paramedic. Beginning with study of
anatomy and physiology, students gain an understanding of the causes, signs and
symptoms, and treatment of all types of medical emergencies. Students
supplement their knowledge through simulated patient care experience and ridealongs with local ambulances. Successful course completion qualifies the student
to sit for the certifying examination offered by the Los Angeles County Department
of Health Services EMS Agency.
PREREQUISITES: ALLIED HEALTH 52
AND A CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK, AND 5-6

Paramedics are advanced providers of emergency medical care and receive
education in anatomy and physiology, cardiology, pharmacology, medicine and
trauma. They build on their Emergency Medical Technician certification and learn
additional skills including administering medications, starting intravenous lines,
providing advance airway management, and learning to resuscitate and support
patients with significant problems such as heart attacks and traumas. Paramedics
work for fire departments and ambulance companies.

College.USAToday.com says
everyone should take a
public speaking course
1. You’re likely to need the experience it offers.
Employers of every sort consistently seek the ability to communicate effectively in their new recruits. Furthermore, outside of
work, you’re likely to end up speaking in public, whether that be
at church, a school board meeting, or at a community or family
event.
2. The presentation skills acquired in a public speaking
course help you succeed in your other courses.
3. It will help you be a better listener.
Public speaking courses actually teach you to become a better
listener. Effective communication can help you develop more
meaningful relationships and this starts with listening.
4. It encourages you to voice your ideas and take advantage
of the influence you have.
5. It teaches you to overcome your fears.
