One of the requirements for the Paramedic class you must be a Tennessee licensed Advanced EMT.
The Paramedic program offers either a certificate or AAS degree. Paramedics work in a variety of specialty care settings including but not limited to ground and air ambulances, occupational, in hospital, and community settings. Academic preparation enables paramedics to use a wide range of pharmacology, airway, and monitoring devices as well as to utilize critical thinking skills to make complex judgments such as the need for transport from a field site, alternate destination decisions, the level of personnel appropriate for transporting a patient, and similar judgments.
Individual counseling and assessment may result in the scheduling of additional courses to overcome all remedial deficiencies in English and mathematics.
All courses in the Paramedic certificate program articulate into the associate of applied science degree program in Paramedic.
