The Emergency Medical Science (EMS) curriculum is designed to prepare graduates to enter the workforce as paramedics. The course of study provides the student an opportunity to acquire basic and advanced life support knowledge and skills by utilizing classroom instruction, practical laboratory sessions, hospital clinical experience, and co-op experiences with emergency medical service agencies. Additionally, the program can provide an Associate Degree for individuals desiring an opportunity for career enhancement. Beginning with the third semester, the EMS program is set up on a “flip/flop” schedule to allow students an opportunity to seek employment with an EMS provider while continuing in the program.
GTCC EMS graduates have achieved a 100% average pass rate on the North Carolina State Written Paramedic Certification Exam.
Students progressing through the program are eligible to apply for both state and national certification exams. Employment opportunities include ambulance services, fire and rescue agencies, air medical services, specialty areas of hospitals, industry, educational institutions, and government agencies. |
