Paramedic

Cambrian’s experienced faculty will train you to safely and efficiently handle the rigors of this fast-paced and often very intense profession that is also extremely rewarding.

Courses focus on basic and advanced patient care, with supporting subjects in high acuity pathologies, biological sciences, humanities, and EMS services. Clinical practice, planned concurrently with classes, emphasizes emergency care procedures. You will learn how to prevent or reduce complications in the care of the sick and injured during the pre-hospital and transport phase of patient care. In addition to providing emergency medical care, you will be trained to identify and correct potential health and safety hazards.

You’ll get extensive hands-on training in the safe transport of ill and injured patients through simulated drills and a clinical placement at a hospital or with an ambulance service. You will have a rotation of clinical placement in area hospitals and in-town and out-of-town ambulance services. Cambrian’s PET Test will ensure your physical fitness level meets professional standards.
