OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to implement successful treatment plans for simulated patients.

Objectives: Working in a team, the student will:

Function as an effective team leader during simulated patient scenarios, effectively developing a treatment plan based upon assessment findings for simulated medical, injured patients or patients with special concerns
Function as an effective team member during simulated patient scenarios actively supporting the team leader’s efforts and realistically performing directed actions.

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to analyze the appropriateness of medic/patient interactions.

Objectives:

Critique simulated patient scenarios, providing verbal feedback for each interaction.
Determine the appropriateness of patient treatments and medic/patient interpersonal interactions.
Analyze performances of simulated patient interactions corresponding them to established paradigms in a written debriefing.

Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to apply critical thinking strategies to taking multiple practice tests simulating licensure tests.

Objectives:

Analyze multiple choice/multiple select critical thinking style of test questions.
Demonstrate proficiency in prehospital patient assessment, pharmacology, as well as relevant issues in anatomy and physiology content areas.
Critically self-asses test performances by critiquing results in post-test exercises.

Outcome 4: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate the skills acquired in the Emergency Medical Skills program during an oral interview with program faculty and the Program Medical Director or their appointee.

Objectives:

Demonstrate curricular mastery in the oral interview process.
Develop a naturalization with the oral interview testing process, interviewing the simulated patient sufficiently in order to develop an effective patient treatment strategy.
