TRAINING CENTER PROGRAMS
The Paramedic education program is three semesters beyond the EMT-Basic course. The program draws its students from individuals already possessing a valid EMT state certification and having completed Anatomy & Physiology I with a grade of C or better. Students must complete Anatomy and Physiology II with a grade of C or better to be eligible to continue past the first semester of the paramedic core curriculum. Each student must be 18 years or older and possess a high school diploma or GED certificate. Paramedic classes are admitted each spring on a competitive entrance basis and may include an interview by the instructor and/or committee.

A new paramedic program begins annually on each campus and meets three nights per week for three semesters. Successful completion of the course leads to a certificate or an AAS degree. Paramedics provide direct patient care covering a broad range of injuries and illness. Although most paramedics work on ambulances, other career options, such as an off-shore paramedic, combat or swat medic, safety officer, or flight paramedic exist.
