Learning Assistance Program


Remember…

• You represent the EMS Program, IRSC, and the EMS community…especially when in uniform

• YOURSELF AND ONLY YOURSELF is ultimately responsible for your success in this program. • Not any of your current or former instructors • Not your parents • Not your friends or classmates


Why It Matters

Our patients did not choose us. We have chosen to treat them.

We have accepted this responsibility…we must give to our patients the very best care that we can.

We must be ready to treat our patients by learning from our experiences and the science provided by prehospital research.

Norman E. McSwain, MD Medical Director Emeritus, PHTLS
