Course List Paramedic (EMT-P)
Paramedic Associate of Science (5 semesters)
The ISU Paramedic program of instruction is based on a cohort class. During the first year/phase of the paramedic program, the student is required to complete their general education requirements and prerequisites. Additionally, during the first year the student is required to apply and seek admittance to the second year or paramedic phase. If a student meets the qualifications they will admitted into the second year of the program. The Paramedic Science degree program is a very competitive program; only those that meet the rigorous requirements are admitted. The second year of the paramedic program consists of two semesters of paramedic courses and clinical placements, and a summer internship.
The ISU-Meridian Paramedic Program admits up to 20 students annually. These students must have already completed significant pre-enrollment requirements including a current EMT-B certification and current vaccinations, a current CPR Health Care Provider certificate, core pre-requisites including Anatomy and Physiology, Biology 101, and Medical Terminology. Once admitted, students progress through the last two semesters and a summer field practicum to complete their paramedic degree. Classes are taught on the Meridian campus and clinical experiences are offered at a variety of off-campus settings, including community hospitals and service agencies.
