This certificate will provide credit for those who complete the current required course for the Paramedic program Paramedic Emergency Medical Services Theory (EMS 84). The Paramedic program is designed to train students to learn advanced emergency medical care for the sick and injured. When a student completes the required class EMS 84 they will have a basic understanding of both adult and pediatric Advanced Medical/Trauma assessment, pathological diagnosis, and treatment. This will complete the didactic portion of the Paramedic Academy. They will then be able to take the next group of courses (EMS 85 and 86) in sequential order.
