Paramedic

Paramedics primarily work in the pre-hospital setting and are the "eyes, ears and hands" of the emergency room physician. As population and urbanization increase, demand will increase for EMT’s and paramedics.  EMT’s and paramedics who have advanced certifications, such as EMT-Intermediate and EMT-Paramedic, should enjoy the most favorable job prospects as clients and patients demand higher levels of care before arriving at the hospital. 

In addition to providing primary care to emergency patients in an out-of-hospital setting, Tri-State’s Paramedic program will train the student for their emerging roles and responsibilities, including public education, health promotion, and participation in injury and illness prevention programs. With employment of emergency medical technicians and paramedics expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations through 2014*, you can’t afford to wait!
