Paramedic Training Program Reviewed
National EMS Institute and New England Paramedic Education Consortium’s Paramedic Program provides education for the highest Advanced Life Support (ALS) prehospital level provider. Candidates in this course undergo over nine (9) months of classroom training in advanced anatomy & physiology, pharmacology, neurology, endocrinology, electrophysiology, and subject matters related to advanced patient care. The paramedic candidate must also do an in-hospital internship with physicians and nurses to hone their assessment, critical reasoning, and treatment skills. They also must operate in the field under a paramedic preceptor to ensure that the student has mastered their trade.
