In emergency medicine training scenarios the outcome of treatment and the success of the treatment is compared to a real patient’s survivability. Neil telling Jim that the treatment he proposed in a lab scenario would be fatal to the patient quite possibly could be a true outcome if it were in a real life scenario. Prehospital emergency medical services treatment errors have a very high probability of poor outcomes if a dangerous or inappropriate procedure was performed. This is not the most appropriate teaching method. Gentler or more appropriate teaching methods could have been exhausted. I do believe Neil telling Jim the treatment he proposed in a lab scenario would be fatal to the patient. Is a slightly intimating statement, not meant to intimate Jim, but used to teach Jim that a mistake could be the difference between life and

In October of 2014, Bill Nye, of “Science Guy” fame, spoke at Lewis & Clark College as part of the Speaker Series sponsored by Campus Activities Board (CAB), President Glassner, and Dean Gonzalez. The advertisement for the events announced that Nye would “talk about his early history, the importance of science education, and “[inspire] others to change the world through it.” Expectations were incredibly high; Nye did not live up to them. His talk lacked a clear purpose and was hard to follow at points. Still, many students left the event reasonably satisfied with the talk.

There are many reasons why John Thomas Scopes’ Monkey Trial was important to Tennessee history. This was a major case for the state of Tennessee and I believe that it is very important to our history. The trial was just after World War 1 the year 1925 was very brutal for America and the Scopes Trial made it no better. We were recovering from World War 1 when Scopes was arrested and prosecuted for something he did in his own classroom. He didn’t think that he should have to run his classroom like the government wanted him to.

The purpose of CLIA '88 is to certify that all laboratory testing, wherever done, is done accurately and according to good scientific practices and to offer assurance to the community that access to safe, accurate laboratory testing is accessible. The capability to make this guarantee has become even more crucial as knowledge of the influence of medical errors has reached both the medical and public arenas (13). One of the essential components identified as necessary to ensure high-quality test results for patients was employee training and competency. Thus, CLIA '88 set forth requirements for performance and documentation of initial personnel training and ongoing assessment of competency

In reviewing the Arizona Department of Education’s, (ADE) career and technical education (CTE) program standards for the emergency medical services (EMT), it became clear that the State of Arizona operates from an abbreviated version of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) standards. The curriculum for EMT is a national standard curriculum and is the foundation of EMS prehospital training. In addition, the new curriculum parallels the recommendations of the National EMS Education. The ADE, uses the National Registry for Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) testing as the summative assessment upon completion of the program secondary and post-secondary schools. Although the ADE has a significant role in the continuous success of EMT programs and curriculum, the students and educational programs are directed by the Arizona Bureau of Emergency Medical Services (AZBEMS).

The "teachers" continued, at the 180 volts mark the "learner" cried out that he cannot take it any longer. Once reaching 300 volts, the fifty-year-old "learner" yelled about his heart condition and begged to be released. At these points, a decent amount of "teachers" halted the experiment while a large percent continued until the final 450 volt question even though the "learner" had stopped responding. At the 150 volt mark those who were going to stop, did so. If I were in this position I would stop at the first sign of discomfort from the "learner."

One of the most important actions that a student can take, is to be honest, and self-reflective, about the level of understanding achieved after completing any course within his/her education career. From my personal view, I feel that this class provided me with a great introduction to the MHA program, and is setting me up for successful in this educational program; but with that being said I would not pretend that I was able to assimilate every concept that was presented in this course, I would definitely need to continue to review the material in this course and on the MHA program overall, so that I could be a knowledgeable, and effective Health Care Manager. When it comes to my ability to discuss the different learning outcomes, I have to say that I definitely acquired a much deeper understanding of the material presented in this course. The materials were not difficult concepts to understand, but sometimes the way the material was delivered made it a difficult task just to read through the information, but as I would imagine, we are trying to achieve an education at a much higher level, which requires the processing and understanding of much more complex information, that sometimes will be

Investing my time in the care of my patient gives the opportunity to not only assist them in a difficult situation, but also to learn more about their diagnosis and the treatment, while comparing it to what we have learned in class. For example, I had a patient that suffered from Sickle Cell Disease and came to the ER during a crisis. Correlating this case to the books and the content learned in class, these patients receive at least 1000 mL of fluids, pain medication, and oxygen. Additionally, I had a patient with meningitis. This individual presented with common symptoms such as nuchal rigidity, muscle pain, fever, and chills.
