What is the Capstone Field Internship?

The Capstone Field Internship serves to allow the student/paramedic candidate to operate in the role of lead paramedic on a working ambulance operating in a 911/emergency setting. Students will continue to demonstrate and document competencies, which include skills performed or interpreted across a variety of patient ages, differential diagnoses, or complaints, but as a part of the Capstone Field Internship will focus on completing and documenting a specific number of team leads representing a variety of skills.

Capstones work just the same as clinicals; however, Capstone preceptors must complete a 20-30 minute orientation, which explains that a preceptor may not intervene or assist on a call.
