- Description
- This program is a partnership between Onondaga Community College and SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY, for individuals who are certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT – Basic certification required prior to applying). It combines sound academic education with hands-on training necessary to function in and out of the hospital setting as an Emergency Medical Service Paramedic. Paramedic-specific coursework consists of no less than 1300 hours of academic and clinical instruction provided by Paramedic instructors, and as certified by NYS Department of Health. The Paramedic program supplements the EMT – Basic certificate by providing an opportunity for students to pursue their A.A.S. degree. This program is ideal for firefighters, ambulance attendants, law enforcement personnel, and those interested in a career in health service vocations, including medical assistant and nursing. The Paramedic AAS sequence requires the basic EMT course leading to certification, which can be obtained through the student’s NYS County of residence, or through a private firm licensed by the NYS Department of Health. The Paramedic sequence requires a continuum; summer and winter sessions are required.
