Description
Paramedics respond immediately to 911 emergency calls involving any type of accident, disaster or medical emergency. At the scene of the emergency, they quickly assess patients’ conditions and take action using recommended guidelines and procedures. You must have the ability to stay calm, identify and evaluate problems quickly, be physically fit, and communicate well.
The NPC Emergency Medical Services Department provides outstanding pre-hospital care education. The current NPC program has been revised and updated based on the most recent standards of the National Association of EMS Educators.
Classes are taught by experienced and knowledgeable emergency health care professionals. You'll be learning the most up-to-date, best practices available in this challenging field. You will satisfy paramedic certification requirements of both the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians and the Arizona Department of Health Services.
The Paramedicine program, under the regulations of the Arizona Department of Health Services (DHS) and with the cooperation of local, state, and private medical institutions and emergency medical services agencies, educated EMT basics up to the level of Paramedic.
