Paramedic

Columbia Basin College ETPL
Beyond EMT-Basic and EMT-Intermediate is Paramedic. Paramedic requires substantially more training than EMT-B and represents the advanced life support (ALS) side of EMS. Paramedic is approximately 18-24 months in duration and equips the student with the skills necessary to provide advanced life-saving care in the out-of-hospital setting. Entrance in to the Paramedic program is contingent upon successful completion of all prerequisites, application, and an oral interview.

Data is unavailable for one of several reasons: In some cases, the institution has not provided the Workforce Board with data to independently evaluate program performance. We encourage all schools to provide this data on an annual basis. In other cases, the program joined Career Bridge recently and student data has not been reported yet. In other cases, the program is too small or too new to provide reliable results.
