It was only a simulation, but for students in the Paramedic program at Fanshawe College (FC) saving a mother and her baby from a car wreck is a possible scenario they will encounter in the coming weeks.
“It's a great way for us to practice our traumas before we start our preceptorships in the coming weeks,” said Brent Young, a FC paramedic student.
“We get to get our hands-on skills ready to go, so we're ready for our real calls.”
The annual trauma and treatment emergency training exercise that took place this weekend gives students a variety of realistic emergency scenarios.
“Typically, our students practice like they play in lab class,” said Chris Slabon, a FC professor and the creative director of the event.
“We can't spend the time and effort to make it as realistic as possible, so this is an opportunity where it's the next step.”
