The paramedic training program at Greenville Technical College is one of the few Paramedic training sites nation-wide that has its own METI (Sarasota, FL) Human Patient Simulator (HPS) mannequins. Any skill taught can be performed on the HPS. The HPS also responds to these treatments just as a human would thereby allowing our students to experience many of the situations they may encounter in the field. The end result of this classroom instruction, lab experience, internships, and opportunities for service is a graduate who is fully prepared for the workplace.
