The Paramedic Association of Canada, together with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and Jones and Bartlett Publishers are proud to continue Dr. Nancy Caroline’s legacy by introducing Emergency Care in the Streets–Canadian Edition!
Dr. Caroline’s work transformed EMS and the entire paramedic field. She created the first national standard curriculum for paramedic training in the United States. She also wrote the first paramedic textbook: Emergency Care in the Streets.
In 2007, we welcomed back Emergency Care in the Streets with the publication of the Sixth Edition in the United States. Now, this program has been rewritten and revised by Canadian EMS experts specifically for Canadian paramedics, using the National Occupational
Competency Profiles.
Nancy Caroline’s Emergency Care in the Streets, Canadian Edition provides a wealth of pedagogical features to aid retention of the material presented. These features include:
- Chapter objectives and dedicated appendix cross-reference materials to the NOCPs
- Progressive case studies that lead the student through an emergency call from beginning to end
- Skill Drills with written step-by-step explanations and visual summaries of important skills and procedures
- Practical, in-the-field advice
- Notes from Nancy: words of wisdom from Dr. Nancy Caroline
- A fully Canadian textbook from cover to cover—written by Canadians for Canadians
