Bachelor of Science - Paramedicine
About Bachelor of Science - Paramedicine
A paramedic has a level of knowledge, skill, and treatment capabilities that are significantly beyond those of an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and which can dramatically improve a patient’s outcome at the hospital. In response to the need for these uniquely trained emergency medical care professionals, the University of New Haven developed its paramedicine program. The Bachelor of Science - Paramedicine program will prepare students to become a new breed of first responder – one who holds dual certification as both a firefighter and as a paramedic.
Hands-on learning will be a major part of your education. Students will ride along with ambulance services and take patients’ vitals. They will practice doing chest compressions and starting IV lines on high-fidelity mannequins. They will become part of teams who care for patients in whatever medical emergency unfolds. The goal of the paramedicine program is to make your education as real-world as it gets.
Through this program, offered in partnership with Hartford Healthcare, students will also:
- Become an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT).
- Gain more than 700 hours of clinical and internship experience through multiple models of EMS services, including hospital-based and fire-based.
- Expand your knowledge through classes in anatomy and physiology virtual reality experiences.
- Become eligible to sit for the National Registry Paramedic exam at the completion of your studies.
- Have a chance to join the Pre-Health Professions (PHP) Scholars Program, which can serve as a launching pad for pursuing a career or further study in healthcare.
