    Emergency Medical Services Education Programs Student Manual 2021 Grady EMS Education Academy 2284 Marietta Boulevard NW | Atlanta, Georgia | 30318 404.616.7414 P a g e | 1 Contents Introduction EMS Education Programs Student Manual Revised January 2021 P a g e | 2 Description of the EMS Professions EMTs and Paramedics have fulfilled prescribed requirements by a credentialing agency to practice the art and science of out-of-hospital medicine in conjunction with physician oversight. Through performance of assessments and delegated medical practice, their goal is to prevent and reduce mortality and morbidity due to illness and injury. EMTs and Paramedics primarily provide care to emergency patients in an out-of-hospital setting. EMTs and Paramedics possess the knowledge, skills and attitudes consistent with the expectations of the public of medical professionals. EMTs and Paramedics recognize that they are an essential component of the continuum of care and serve as linkages among health resources. EMTs and Paramedics strive to maintain high quality, reasonable cost health care by delivering patients directly to appropriate facilities. As an advocate for patients, paramedics seek to be proactive in affecting long term health care by working in conjunction with other provider agencies, networks, and organizations. The emerging roles and responsibilities of the EMT and Paramedic include public education, health promotion, and participation in injury and illness prevention programs. As the scope of service continues to expand, the EMT and Paramedic will function as a facilitator of access to care, critical care practitioners, as well as an initial treatment provider. EMT and Paramedic are responsible and accountable to medical direction, the public, and their peers.

  • Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN Medical Correspondent, to Speak Oct. 21 at UCSB Campbell Hall
    The doctor is in : Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN medical correspondent, to speak Oct. 21 at UCSB Campbell Hall MARILYN MCMAHON, NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER October 9, 2012 5:31 AM When Dr. Sanjay Gupta, neurosurgeon, author and Emmy Award-winning chief medical correspondent for CNN, appears Oct. 21 at UCSB Campbell Hall, he is expected "to deliver an in-depth examination of the media's role in reporting on today's sometimes scary and shocking medical headlines." He gave a hint about one of the topics during a phone interview with the News-Press from Palo Alto, where he is working on a major CNN production involving flame retardants. "They are supposed to make things safe, but we want to know how many chemicals are actually in things like upholstery, electronics and children's products.

It will probably be aired in November after the election," said Dr. Gupta, whose talk launches the new Speaking of Health lecture series presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures. Featured will be leading medical experts and journalists discussing "hot-button health issues of our day, from provocative new approaches to medicine and healing to the latest research on cancer and Alzheimer's disease." Among the speakers will be Dr. Abraham Verghese, author of the best-seller "Cutting for Stone," whose topic will be "The Search for Meaning in a Medical Life" on March 6. Since Dr.
