Registration & Admission Process

Our Paramedic Education utilizes a rolling admissions process; students are encouraged to complete the application process and remit all required payments and documentation to ensure a seat in the program. Students who have not completed the registration process will not appear on the official roster for the course and may not attend any portion of any sessions until the registration process is complete. Overall, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure payment for the course.

Admissions Policy

Elizabethtown Community Hospital Paramedic Education Program reserves the right to deny admission or readmission of any individual considered detrimental to the best interests of the Program and Elizabethtown Community Hospital. Each student must be able to assume the duties and responsibilities of an EMT with or without reasonable accommodation as outlined by the Department of Health. Students must be 17 years of age by the last day of the month of the scheduled Certification Exam. Students who do not meet the age requirements listed are ineligible to enroll in this course. All students must be able to read and write the English language.

All students in an original advanced training course (AEMT, Paramedic) must maintain valid EMT (or higher) certification throughout the program. Students are also required to maintain health insurance for the duration of the course.  Failure to maintain a current certification will result in removal from the program.
