Overview
The paramedic is a healthcare assistant with incredibly important duties. To be successful in the field, the graduate must be a confident leader who can accept the challenge and high degree of responsibility entailed in the position. The paramedic must have excellent judgment and be able to prioritize decisions and act quickly in the best interest of the patient, must be self-disciplined, able to develop patient rapport, interview hostile patients, maintain a safe distance, and recognize and utilize communication unique to diverse multicultural groups and ages within those groups. The paramedic must be able to function independently at an optimum level in a non-structured environment that is constantly changing.
To be eligible for this program, students must have a current EMT certification. Students must have also completed an Anatomy and Physiology course within the last five years.
If you are not currently an EMT, MTC offers an Emergency Medical Technician training certificate. For more information, contact MTC Corporate and Continuing Education at 803.732.0432 or cce@midlandstech.edu.
