EMCR 230 - Advanced Standing Paramedic- Original

This accelerated Advanced Standing Paramedic Program is designed for licensed Registered Nurses (RNs), Physician Assistants (PAs), and Medical Doctors (MDs) seeking to obtain paramedic certification while leveraging their existing clinical training and experience.

Emphasis is placed on advanced airway management, pharmacology, cardiac and trauma life support, EMS operations, and critical decision-making in austere settings.
