This course presents students with the application of hydraulics calculation in the design of water-based fire protection systems. Students are introduced to the fundamentals of fluids and fluid movement. Static and dynamic fluid problems, with an emphasis on fire protection systems, will be studied.

This course introduces the gathering and organizing of information so a paramedic can make an accurate working field diagnosis. Subjects include gathering patient history with cultural sensitivity, physical examination techniques and the instruments used, review of normal physical findings by body system, emergent patient assessment, and organizing and communicating the information gathered.

This course covers both life-threatening and minor pre-hospital trauma care. It will include advanced provider certification in Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PhTLS). The PHTLS provider certification will be integrated with current advanced trauma management for all major body systems with extensive coverage of multi-systems and musculoskeletal trauma. NHSHP presents the Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support Course as developed by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians in cooperation with the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons. The clinical portion will include time in the Emergency Department and with the Trauma Team. This course may be taught through a special agreement with the Yale New Haven Sponsor Hospital Program.

This class will cover the three major classes of hazards: natural, technological, and intentional. The course will encompass the big picture of disasters in the world and encourage elicitations from students while exploring the Universe of Hazards diagrams. Course work will compare and contrast varying definitions for natural hazards with key terms and basic concepts such as natural disasters, risk, vulnerability, resilience, and adjustment. The model hazard management mapping will be presented and will challenge students to identify within the model the four stages of emergency or disaster management: mitigation, preparedness planning, response, and recovery. A timeline of the effects of legislation on the historic evolution of hazard mapping and modeling will be reviewed.
