To properly assess and manage a patient, a prehospital provider must have a solid foundation in human anatomy and physiology. This course uses a systemic approach to building this foundation. It begins by providing an overview of the basic systems of the human body. Then it explores each system in detail chapter by chapter, delivering a thorough discussion of the system's anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology. This course does not include a lab. This course is a prerequisite for the paramedic program.",
