Paramedicine Associate of Applied Science Degree PT13
The Paramedicine applied associate in science degree program is a sequence "to prepare competent entry-level Paramedics in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains with or without exit points at the Advanced Emergency Medical Technician and/or Emergency Medical Technician, and/or Emergency Medical Responder levels." Paramedics possess the complex knowledge and skills necessary to provide patient care and transportation, functioning as part of a comprehensive EMS response team, under medical oversight. These individuals perform interventions with basic and advanced equipment typically found on an ambulance. Students are provided learning opportunities that introduce, develop, and reinforce academic and occupational knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for job acquisition, retention, and advancement. The program also provides individuals the opportunity to upgrade their present knowledge and skills from EMT/EMT-I/AEMT. Successful completion of the program allows the graduate to take the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) Paramedic Certification Examination and apply for Georgia licensure with the State Office of Emergency Medical Service and Trauma (SOEMST) as a paramedic. Fees incurred from the examination, certification, and state licensure are not part of the program's cost and must be paid for by the student/graduate. “The Savannah Technical College Paramedic program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) upon the recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP).
