Sumario:Mesa Community College Department of EMS / Fire Science has developed a creative Immersive Total Patient Management Experience (ITPME) through an innovative use of resources commonly available in most community college environments. Although there is a gap in literature related specifically to paramedic education, research conducted from other healthcare disciplines such as nursing and pharmacy provide evidence that immersive simulation is a highly effective tool that can be utilized to provide education and evaluation of the affective domain in healthcare education. National EMS leadership groups strongly encourage paramedic educators to strengthen curricular experiences with patient simulation, and this paper describes how ITPME aligns with current National Association of EMS Educators (NAMSE) competency goals and recommendations, allowing for an effective method for inclusion within the paramedic curricular experience.
