Texas Paramedic Programs

EMT & Paramedic Training

Become a Paramedic

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. The National EMS Academy is an accredited satellite site under the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Services (TEEX) EMS program.
