program success
As the Education Center for Michigan’s largest EMS provider, we are driven to see our students succeed and develop into strong medical professionals. We employ over 70% of our program graduates, the quality of our EMS force is dependent on the quality of training they receive as students.
It is the goal of our program to prepare competent entry-level Paramedics in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains with or without exit points at the Advanced Emergency Medical Technician and/or Emergency Medical Technician, and/or Emergency Medical Responder levels.
In addition, this program is designed to give students extensive practical application in addition to the knowledge and skills acquired in the EMT and/or AEMT class. This course outline includes advanced skills practice with a focus on assessment-based patient management, along with gaining a more in-depth understanding of pathophysiology. Content areas are covered in lectures, practical skills practiced in a laboratory setting, along with observations and practical experience that will be gained in a clinical and/or internship setting. Huron Valley Ambulance requires candidates for all programs to demonstrate competency in eight core abilities: Communicate effectively; Think creatively and critically; Use technology effectively; Use mathematics; Manage information; Work cooperatively; Act responsibly; and demonstrate social and cultural awareness.
