      Paramedic

      Paramedic

      The Paramedic Program is intended for students who are interested in helping and treating patients to the highest level of care outside of the hospital by providing information and skill training to initiate and maintain treatment for medical, trauma, and cardiac emergencies. Prospective students should have interest in pathophysiology of disease, mathematical competence and be able to function effectively in a dynamic work environment. A paramedic must:
      • Be a confident leader who can accept the challenge and high degree of responsibility entailed in the position.
      • Have excellent judgment
      • Be able to prioritize decisions and act quickly in the best interest of the patient.
      • Be self disciplined
      • Be able to develop patient rapport and utilize communication unique to diverse multicultural groups and ages.
       
      The Paramedic is the highest level of emergency responder training. The Paramedic diploma offers a comprehensive course of study that prepares the graduate to sit for the EMT and Paramedic certification examinations as well as meeting the requirements for the AAS degree.
