Become a Paramedic

Make A Difference Every Day

Paramedics are healthcare professionals providing the highest level of care available outside of a hospital. Paramedics work under the supervision of a physician through written protocols or online guidance to extend advanced life support care to the sick and injured.
Paramedics are trained in all aspects of pre-hospital emergency care.

During a medical transport, the paramedic is responsible for the safety and well-being of the patient. Paramedics may work on ambulances, in industrial settings, and on aeromedical transport teams.

In addition to basic EMT skills, paramedics also:

Start intravenous lines
Administer a wide variety of medications
Insert advanced airway devices

Read electrocardiograms
Use manual defibrillators and cardiac pacemakers
Perform other advanced skills delegated by the medical control physician

Paramedic students must take or show proof of passing a college-level survey A&P course or a full-year A&P course.
