Brick by Brick: Gastroenterology Overview—Part 1 |
1.50 |
In most EMS systems, gastroenterology education is avoided at the BLS level. However, prehospital providers frequently respond to reports of nausea, abdominal discomfort, or pain. There is often a disparity in the relationship between the frequency of responses and the amount of education available to EMS providers.
Melodie Kolmetz, Paramedic, PA-C, is a multi-disciplinary provider and educator. She brings her experience as a paramedic, physician assistant, and university professor to this prerequisite course. Her review of the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts offers a better understanding of how to identify life-threatening emergencies. The end result will be better choices when determining the appropriate prehospital interventions and the nearest appropriate transport destination.
Final Exam: Please read each question carefully. You will have two attempts to gain a 70% or higher on this exam. If you are not successful in two attempts, you are welcome to take the course again to gain the certification. |

Brain Development in Infants and Toddlers (CDA 8) |
2.00 |
Brain development has changed over the last 20 years. Early brain development focused mainly on the intellectual aspects of the brain, but over the last 10 years, more focus has been placed on the social emotional exchanges in infancy and how that affects brain development. Early experiences predispose how children see the world. This course is designed to be part of a Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential™ curriculum and covers CDA Subject Area 8, Understanding Principles of Child Development and Learning. This course can also be taken as a stand-alone learning event or as part of a broader early childhood education curriculum. |
