As a part of a Paramedic’s education, the student is required to take Anatomy and Physiology in order to gain a deeper insight into the everyday activities of the body. By doing so, the student will gain a better appreciation for how disease and injury affect the body; thereby leading to more accurate differential diagnosis, and the most appropriate patient management and treatment regimens to improve patient outcomes and add to the continuity of care provided.
