The Paramedic Program prepares the student in all elements of prehospital advanced life support. Upon successful completion of the program, the student is eligible to take the State of California EMT-P certification exam, which is the National Registry Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic Exam.
Admission to the program is by special application.
To be eligible for consideration, the applicant must:
30-40
The goal of this program is to prepare students to become entry level licensed paramedics.
We updated PLOs. The updated outcomes are clearer and assessable.
We updated the minimum number of hours you must work as a paid EMT prior to applying to the program. This decision was made based on the feedback from the industry partners and was a decision made and implemented by all programs in the region.

Palomar college submitted the appropriate LMI from the COE. The COE does not recommend developing a *new* program for this occupation because 1) entry-level wages are below the living wage; and 2) there is an oversupply in the region. However, because this is a program modification, the COE supports the modification because 1) employers require, at minimum, some college or certificate for these occupations and 2) demand is met by the community colleges.
