Program Description:
The Emergency Medical
Technician–Paramedic program prepares students for careers as
paramedics, the most advanced pre-hospital EMS provider. Paramedic students have the opportunity to
earn many ancillary certifications, such as Pre-Hospital Trauma Life
Support (PHTLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric
Advanced Life Support (PALS). In addition, students may become certified
as Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technician–Paramedics
(NREMT-P).
The curriculum provides a strong educational
background in the area of anatomy and physiology and emergency
pre-hospital care. These disciplines are combined with English,
humanities, social science, and other liberal arts courses that help the
graduate to work effectively in the field with a variety of people,
including patients, physicians, and nursing personnel, as well as other
allied professionals.
Graduates of the Emergency Medical
Technician—Paramedic curriculum receive the Associate in Applied Science
degree, and become eligible for NYS Department of Health, Bureau of EMS
certification as an Advanced Emergency Medical Technician–Paramedic.
