Quick and Dirty: Teaching Clinical Judgment to EMS Students
Here is a quick and dirty (well, clean really) outline of the process. You can find more information on the process, specific considerations, and sample applications in other articles:
–The “Gimme 5” differential diagnosis (leading to a “field diagnosis”) HERE
–A brief foray into the branches and possible branches of the Risk Analysis process HERE
–a webinar on the entire topic by Julianne Stevenson, long-time EMS educator who applied this system for decades (including both as a clinician and as an educator) HERE
As I write more, I’ll add to this list so that it is always all in one place.
