It was recently redesigned with state-of-the-art equipment and a slick new HFC logo. It looks great,\u201d said Shannon Bruley, HFC EMS program director.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">The training ambulance is designed as a regular working ambulance, according to Bruley. EMS students need to instinctively know where various tools and equipment are located within an ambulance, as well as adapt to working in an ambulance\u2019s confined space. It could mean life or death for a patient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">During labs, EMS students must respond to simulated 911 calls from around the campus. When they arrive on the scene of a simulated 911 call, they quickly assess the medical emergency and assist \u201cKelly,\u201d a human patient simulator. They treat Kelly on the spot and transport her back to the lab just as if they were transporting an actual patient to the hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">\u201cIt\u2019s realistic because Kelly looks and acts like a human,\u201d said Bruley. \u201cThere is a computer interface that allows Kelly to communicate and respond to treatments. It\u2019s very exciting to see this in action.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">EMS students and faculty often participate in campus events and bring the ambulance when it\u2019s appropriate. At these events, the ambulance is open for community members to tour. In some cases, EMS students perform demonstrations on people, placing them on the stretcher, strapping them in for a ride, or assessing their vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, pulse check, et al).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">\u201cIt\u2019s really fun to be in an ambulance when you\u2019re curious about it and you can see how it works instead of actually needing to be in one for medical reasons,\u201d said Bruley.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\"><b> <\/b><b>For further information about HFC\u2019s EMS program, contact Bruley at 313-317-6582 or <a href=\"mailto:sbruley@hfcc.edu\">sbruley@hfcc.edu<\/a>.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EMS program at HFC is very hands-on.
