The Programs
The Department offers the Associate's Degree
and certificate in Emergency Medical Sceinces. Successful program completion
satisfies the eligibility requirements to apply for the paramedic
credentialing examinations offered by the National Registry of Emergency
Medical Technicians (NREMT).
The Associate's degree can be completed in five consecutive semesters.
The certificate paramedic program can be completed in four consecutive
semesters. Graduates who complete the certificate program are eligible
to complete the Associate's degree at a later time as long as all
requirements of the degree plan are met. The department also offers an
intensive Six-Month Paramedic Program (contact the department for
details).
Students can also enroll in individual courses offered by the
department, including the Introduction to Emergency Medical Technology
(EMS 1602), the Emergency Medical Responder (EMS 1291), and Anatomy and
Physiology (EMS 1311). Students who successfully complete EMS1602 may
be eligible to challenge the Emergency Medical Technician-Basic (EMT-B)
credentialing examinations offered by the NREMT.
Note: Successful completion of the above programs does not itself insure
certification or registration. Each student is responsible for
becoming familiar with the applicable certification and
registration requirements. |
