| Further Information | The exam included in the assessment of competences is assessed 0-5, the traineeship is assessed pass/fail. Acceptance of previously acquired competences (AHOT) guidelines. Only for traineeships, the assessment of basic competences cannot be accepted: A written AHOT assignment may be used to assess the internship if the student has 1) at least an upper secondary vocational diploma in health care (paramedic) or a diploma in emergency medical services, including paramedic studies, and 2) at least one year of work experience in emergency care. This experience must have been gained within the last three (3) years. An Assessment of Prior Learning and Knowledge (AHOT) must be completed prior to the start of the Basic Paramedic Situational Leadership and Responsibility course and will be agreed with the course supervisor in the semester prior to the course. If previous paramedic studies are also taken, the competency tests will be combined according to the teacher's instructions. The assignments will be returned to Moodle. No request for an assignment will be made using the HOT form. Accreditation of prior learning (AHOT) task Basic level paramedic advanced skills training: Case description of a paramedic assignment in which you act as a paramedic 1. The task should address the following issues: - Task response times, codes: alert, encounter, transport. - Description of the initial situation when you arrived on scene. - Examinations you performed on your patient, grouped according to the 5-step patient encounter model, working diagnosis and treatments. - A literature review of how this patient should have been examined and treated (references according to the thesis guidelines). - An analysis of how the task went in relation to the literature, and why the task went as the literature teaches or what factors contributed to the fact that you examined and treated the patient differently - A reflection in which you justifiably evaluate your paramedic 1 role in this task, your own competence as a paramedic 1 and your working partnership.
