Course Overview

A paramedic has knowledge, skill, and treatment capabilities that are significantly beyond those of an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and can dramatically improve a patient’s outcome at the hospital—in response to the need for these uniquely trained emergency medical care professionals, the University of New Haven developed its paramedicine program. This program will prepare you to become a new breed of first responder who holds dual certification as both a firefighter and a paramedic.

Hands-on learning will be a significant part of your education. You’ll ride along with ambulance services and take patients’ vitals. You’ll practice doing chest compressions and starting IV lines on high-fidelity mannequins. You’ll become part of teams who care for patients in whatever medical emergency unfolds. The goal of the paramedicine program is to make your education as real-world as it gets.
