EMT – Paramedic |
Program Description
The program will start each year at the beginning
of the spring semester. The program length will be
either three or four semesters, depending on a predetermined need in
the service area.
The program is dedicated
to high standards and quality instruction provided by a team
of Paramedics, Nurses, Physicians,
and other health care professionals. The program
exceeds the standards set by the U.S. Department of Transportation and
has been approved by the North Dakota Department of Health, Division
of Emergency Health Services. The program prepares the student for the
National Registry written and
practical examinations.
Program Goal
Our goal is to ensure quality education
and to prepare students to become competent entry-level EMT-Paramedic
practitioners.
Accreditation
The program is nationally accredited by
the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).
Bismarck State College is accredited by the Commission on Institutions
of Higher Education of the North
Central Association of Colleges and Schools. St. Alexius is accredited
by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
Clinical Program
Clinical experiences will be completed
around the student’s classroom schedule. We recognize the needs in rural communities and therefore,
selected clinical experiences may be completed at local community
hospitals, with the approval of the local hospital administrator
and the program director.
Field Internship
Program
Field Internship experiences will also
be completed around the student’s classroom schedule. One-half of the
field internship program will be completed prior to completion of the
core curriculum and the other half after completion of the core
curriculum. The student will be assigned
one preceptor during the field internship experiences. Field
Internship experiences will be completed at Metro Area Ambulance
Service, Burleigh County Sheriff’s Department, Combined
Communications Center, and other approved sites.
