Things required for Graduation

[brock8024]

I was wondering what other people have to do to graduate. I am going to be graduating from a 2 year associate degree program in May, and we got a lot to do. As a matter of fact we have homework from our instructor for that semester.

In order for us to graduate we have to do the following

1) 204 hours of clinicals

2) 10 page paper

3) 30 min speeches x 2

4) Go into the basic class and help teach class and lab

5) Community service project

6) two 12 hour gatekeeper shifts with paramedic

7) two 12 gatekeeper shifts with our medical director for program

Now this is just for our last semester, each of the others had projects in them too. I have already got my topic for my paper so that is not to bad. This is also our Pals and PEPP training semester.

So I was just wondering what other people have to do to graduate.

We required a 80% pass mark to graduate.

Both a test and a quiz held weekly.

Reading and writing assignments every week.

500 hours of hospital clinical preceptorship. (Emerg, ICU, L&D, OR, Amb Care, Peds)

500 hours of ambulance preceptorship (minimum of 2 preceptors)

Mid term and final exams each year.

Final oral exit boards with our PMD, head instructor and 2 field medics.

Dang that is a lot too. We also have to take a comprehensive final and skills just like a mock National Registry test to graduate.
