Paramedics are health
professionals who treat a wide variety of patients in advanced life
support. The Paramedics mostly work in the pre-hospital settings so
in essence the Emergency Room Department is brought to the patient
either at home, work or any public setting. Paramedics are highly
trained in advanced life support and in the pre-hospital setting;
the Paramedic is the highest level of medical care
provider.
The only other health care profession who
has a higher heath care status in the pre-hospital setting is a
Physician. The Paramedic is in charge of all patient care in
the pre-hospital setting. Paramedic's work under a wide variety of
standing orders, so emergency treatment is available very quickly
to the patient. Many, many lives are saved because of the Paramedic
- it is a profession to be very proud to be a part
of.
All our EMS programs now use interactive
on-line learning allowing the student to be able to take quizzes
and exams at their leisure and in their home or using our computer
center located at the Dr. Bartilucci Center. Students are required
to have computer access for all our courses.
