Emergency Medical Technician Paramedic from Hudson Valley Community College is a Campus Associate Medical Emergency degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. The Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic (EMT-P) A.A.S. degree was designed to wrap around the 15-course series that leads to the EMT-P certificate. The program is designed so that students could complete their EMT-Basic (EMSP 100) and EMT-Internship (EMSP 101) during the first year along with liberal arts and science courses as specified below. Students who are already certified as NYS EMT-Basics may be eligible to challenge courses EMSP 100 and EMSP 101 through life experience. The EMT-P is a highly skilled professional provider who practices the art and science of out-of-hospital medicine in conjunction with medical direction. Through performance of assessments and providing medical care, their goal is to prevent and reduce mortality and morbidity due to illness and injury. EMT-Ps primarily provide care to emergency patients in an out-of-hospital setting. EMT-Ps possess the knowledge, skills and attitudes consistent with the expectations of the public and the profession. EMT-Ps recognize that they are an essential component of the continuum of care and serve as linkages among health resources. EMT-Ps are responsible and accountable to medical direction, the public, and their peers.
