Paramedic Program
The Paramedicine Training Program consists of 10 months (approximately 1400 hours) of didactic and clinical instruction. We provide a comprehensive overview of emergency treatment for all types of medical and traumatic emergencies. Students will be engaged in field and prehospital treatment, rehabilitation and discharge of patients with a focus on how they can impact patient care in their day to day practice as a paramedic.
The Fall 2012 Paramedic Program will begin on September 4, 2012. The didactic portion of the program will run through June 29, 2013. The clinical portion of the program must be completed by December 30, 2013. To download the application, please click here.
