About the Paramedic Program
Paramedics are advanced providers of emergency medical care who often serve as leaders of their teams. They start IV’s, give medication, as well as use advanced airway management techniques to help patients breathe. They are trained in advanced cardiac life support and make transport decisions to take patients to the most
appropriate hospitals.
The goal of the paramedic program is to prepare Paramedics who are competent in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains to enter the profession.”
