Program Summary

This unique A.A.S. degree program, a partnership between HCCC and Faxton-St. Luke’s Healthcare, provides the paramedic student the education necessary to function in an out-of-hospital setting as an emergency medical services professional. Trauma from motor vehicle collisions and the like, as well as medical emergencies such as heart attacks and strokes, all demand professional pre-hospital emergency medical attention. Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic (EMT-P) gives immediate and often life-saving emergency medical care to these patients while on-scene and during transport to medical facilities. Successful graduates will be eligible for certification as Nationally Registered EMT-Paramedics as well as New York State certified Advanced Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedics.
