Paramedics provide care to emergency patients in and out of hospital settings. Through proper patient assessment and medical care, the paramedic's goal is to prevent and reduce mortality and morbidity due to illness and injury. Paramedics are an essential component of the continuum of care and serve as links to other health care professionals. Paramedics are responsible and accountable to medical direction.
BSC offers a Program Certificate and an Associate in Applied Science degree in Paramedic (EMT) Technology. The paramedic program is affiliated with St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck and subject to limited enrollment. Instruction begins spring semester and continues for four semesters. Program goal is to ensure quality education and to prepare students to become competent entry-level EMT-paramedic practitioners. The national Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs accredits the paramedic program.
