- Description
- This course is designed to meet an increasing demand for Community Paramedics, locally, regionally, and nationally. Candidates are experienced field paramedics that have chosen to expand their knowledge and skill base. This course prepares the experienced paramedic to continue working in the out-of-hospital setting and to recognize, treat, and refer patients to community health resources. Community Paramedics will also be referred to a patient’s residence by their primary care provider to follow up on such medical problems as wound care, cardiac issues, diabetes, medication management, and provide seasonal immunizations. Patients generally do not qualify for home care nursing. This replaces the “house call” from years past. This is a logical progression of this career path, as paramedics encounter these patients every day and have little, if any, training in the area of community health. Demand is rapidly increasing in Minnesota, and around the country. The curriculum is prescribed by the North Central EMS Institute and has been adopted by the Minnesota Emergency Medical Services Regulatory Board.
