Course Details

Course Description

This course has been developed to meet and/or exceed the standards as set forth in the National  
Emergency Medical Services Education Standards. The course builds upon the foundational knowledge of the Emergency Medical Technician and provides additional breadth (amount of material) and depth (level of detail) of knowledge necessary for the paramedic to practice in today’s workforce. In addition, the course integrates experiences from outside the traditional 911 (emergency) role of paramedics to facilitate entry into other areas of paramedic practice including community-based paramedicine, interfacility transport, and specialty/critical care transport.
