About the text:

Nancy Caroline's Emergency Care in the Streets, Seventh Edition, transforms the legendary textbook first developed by Dr. Nancy Caroline in the early 1970s into the premier paramedic education program. Based on the National EMS Education Standards and the collective expertise of its world-class EMS author team, the Seventh Edition is truly paramedic education "from the streets, for the streets."

In addition to expanded coverage of key topics and new chapters, the Seventh Edition emphasizes the notion that becoming a paramedic should be a pursuit of excellence. Concepts of team leadership and professionalism are woven throughout the new progressive case studies, challenging students to become compassionate and conscientious health care professionals as well as superior clinicians.

"Setting a Standard for Excellence" is a central theme of the Seventh Edition: The text addresses both knowledge and skills needed to be excellent clinicians as well as the professionalism required to be outstanding health care providers.
