The National Registry takes their test questions from no one particular textbook. So a good check of how much of the basic EMT material you know is to take a test from one of the other textbooks. For review in this EMT course, do some of the on-line quizzes from a different textbook by going to:

http://cwx.prenhall.com/bookbind/pubbooks/limmer/

and using the quizzes from that text book, take the chapter quizzes. Pick chapters that you feel the least sure of, and want to study more.

For more practice as you prepare for the National Registry, and to get yet another textbook's way of approaching the material, I have placed quizzes on my website at

http://users.stlcc.edu/cmittler/emt/aaosch10.htm

To go to other chapter quizzes use the same web address, except instead of 10 use the number of another chapter.

If you purchased EMT Achieve at the beginning of the semester, be sure to do the four 150 question tests. They will give you an idea of what parts of the course you know, and what parts you should work on more.

As you can see, the purpose of this review is to provide one that would cover
the field rather than just our text, and one that could give feedback over specific areas that need more work, while helping you to prepare for the National Registry Written Exam..

TAKE THE EMT COURSE ON LINE

NEW APPROACH TO THE EMT-B COURSE - AN ON LINE EMT-B WEB BASED COURSE

We are offering the EMT-B course as an on-line course. The state Bureau of EMS has given us the okay several semesters ago to run it as a trial or pilot project. It has been so successful that now it is offered as a regular EMT-B course. So instead of some of those long four hour class sessions, all the textbook material, lectures, and quizzes will be done over the internet. There will be a series of Saturdays in which we will meet to go through the skills, and practical part of the class. The module exams will be done on these Saturdays also.

If you talk to anyone about taking the EMT course, and you think they would do well in such a self-motivating class, we would appreciate it if you would mention it to them.

The web based EMT course begins when the college semester begins. If you haven't heard from your instructor, contact him at cmittler@stlcc.edu

Saturday classes will meet on the Forest Park campus, room G121 from 9 to 5.

A few days before the semester starts, your instructor will send you an email with information about getting into the blackboard program on the college website, where the course is located. If the school doesn't have your current email address, go to the college website, go into banner, and add it under the personal information.

Hospital Clinicals:

There will be sign up sheets available in the classroom for you to schedule your clinicals and ride-alongs after we have completed the airway material and CPR, and you have turned in your shot records, completed the HIPAA training, and sexual harassment tutorial.

You have the opportunity to do your clinicals this semester at several different hospitals:

Forest Park Medical Center - 768-3019
6150 Oakland Avenue
St. Louis MO 63110

St. Mary's Health Center - 768-8360
6420 Clayton Road
Richmond Heights MO 63117

St. Alexius Hospital - 865-7955
3933 South Broadway
St. Louis MO 63118

SLU Hospital
3635 Vista
St. Louis, MO

Des Peres hospital
2345 Dougherty Ferry Road at 270
Des Peres, MO
The hospital has an interesting interactive webpage, that includes identifying symptoms interactively, and a map that will give you directions to the hospital from your place.


Ambulance ride-alongs
- You have several choices of ambulance ride-alongs. You may do your shift at:

Be sure to read over the requirements that each ambulance district has for ride-alongs before you sign up, and then review them again before going on your ride-along. Ambulance districts are particular about when you come, how you look, and what you are able to do.
