Supplements

The supplements for the second edition of Emergency Medical Technician are designed around the student and are based on the new Education Standards released in January 2009 by the DOT NHTSA Office of EMS.

For the Student

• Emergency Medical Technician Workbook Includes features to help you study and master the material in each chapter: Reading Assignment, Sum It Up, Tracking Your Progress, Chapter Quiz, and Quiz Answers.
• Connect™ Assignments Web-based assignments that are tied to the Education Standards and the textbook material.
• Media Rich eBook Electronic book that incorporates video and animation directly into the pages of the textbook.
• LearnSmart An online diagnostic learning system that determines the level of student knowledge , then feeds the student appropriate content. Students take an online pretest to qualify medical terms they already know, think they know, or don’t know at all. Based on a new approach to learning, students are forced to think about whether they really know the terms, which will generate stronger metacognitive skills.
• ActivSim A web-based EMS field simulator that prepares students for certification and enables them to hone their medical skills by using virtual patients with real-life cases and real-time feedback.
