Paramedic Training
The faculty and staff for the paramedic program are devoted to ensuring that entry-level paramedics are competent, confident, and successful in meeting the needs of the communities they serve, as well as the ever-evolving industry.
Upon successful completion and certification, the paramedic is qualified to perform advanced emergency care. Course consists of online assignments, didactic and classroom skill competencies, and additional hours of clinical and field internship. Paramedics are trained in the recognition, assessment, and advanced management of a patient suffering any type of emergency. Paramedics function under the direction of a medical doctor and can perform their role in a pre-hospital or other appropriate setting.
