About the Career
Accidents–sudden, severe illness–medical
emergencies can happen at any time, in any place.
Survival often depends on the initial care the
injured or severely ill person receives at the
scene.
If you're a licensed EMT looking to advance your
current skills to the paramedic level, your next
step is the Paramedic Technician program.
Career Outlook
Employment of emergency medical technicians and paramedics is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2010. Population growth and urbanization will increase the demand for full-time paid EMTs and paramedics rather than for volunteers. In addition, a large segment of the population–the aging baby boomers–will further spur demand for EMT services, as they become more likely to have medical emergencies.
Potential Positions
Upon successful program completion, graduates are eligible to write the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians Paramedic (NREMT-P) Exam and/or the State of Wisconsin Paramedic Exam. Graduates may be employed by city, county, or private paramedic providers.
