This has meant setting a higher admissions bar and shrinking Emory Goizueta, both in our classrooms and in the incoming classes of some of our graduate-level programs to maintain or increase co-curricular activities. Words make it difficult student quality, with the resulting loss of revenue such a move implies.

We important pedagogical approach. have resisted creating a proliferation of specialized master’s degrees to address revenue shortfalls, as some schools have done, because we are not willing to suffer the inevitable downward pressure such an approach has on the overall quality of the student body.

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.

The Hospitable South: Religion, Politics, And Belonging In A Southern Community Abstract This dissertation interrogates the so-called myth of Southern hospitality. I review the historical origins of hospitality on antebellum plantations and engage with theoretical distinctions that have been made between hospitality as discourse and hospitality as practice. Given decades of social and political change in the region, I ask, how is Southern hospitality practiced today, and what are the consequences? I draw on ethnographic and interview data from a community study in Rockdale County, Georgia to explore how the culture of Southern hospitality became manifested as a set of religious practices through which residents determined who did and did not belong in their local community. Originally a mostly-white farming community, Rockdale had witnessed decades of dramatic population growth and diversification during Metro Atlanta’s rapid expansion. I explain how changes like the arrival of immigrants and growth of non-white populations made the community a fitting place for observing how Southern hospitality, with its ethos of gracious hosts and warm welcomes, was actually put into practice.
