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
