The Paramedic Manual is not a traditional workbook in that it goes beyond the simple “review and test” approach of most workbooks. Instead, this manual supports the students’ exploration of the art and science of prehospital medicine by providing a rich palette of learning tools, images, and even video to better explain concepts and techniques. The Paramedic Manual speaks clearly and directly to the paramedic student. The material in each chapter revolves around “Need To Know” (NTK) objectives; those that the authors of both the Textbook and Manual felt were absolutely necessary for the paramedic student to master before moving on to the next section or chapter. All features in the Manual were designed to ensure that learners can successfully master these NTK objectives. Multimedia tools on the accompanying DVD create an educational space that is rich with information.
