Are you a working EMT interested in becoming a certified Paramedic? 草榴社区 is offering a convenient hybrid shift-based Paramedic Course (DSHS # 617988).
鈥淭here is a serious shortage of paramedics in our area and NTCC is hoping to help fill that gap. We know it is difficult for practicing EMTs to continue their education due to shift work schedules. This program is designed specifically with them in mind,鈥 Russell VanBibber, NTCC EMS Faculty, said.
