Purpose: This program is designed to provide an option for Emergency Health Services students who have already earned or do not wish to earn a college degree. Graduates are awarded a paramedic certificate and are eligible to take the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic written and practical exam. It provides an entry level credential for employment as a paramedic. Students are admitted to the college and complete basic Emergency Health Services (EHS) courses before applying for formal admission into the paramedic core. Admission requirements exist for students seeking admission to the formal paramedic core; see the EHS Program brochure for details on admission requirements and procedures.
