EMS plays a critical role in the healthcare system by ensuring timely access to medical care, particularly in situations where a patient&#8217;s condition requires immediate attention and rapid transport to a hospital or medical facility. Whether responding to accidents, heart attacks, strokes, or other emergencies, EMS is an essential part of public health and emergency response systems worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>EMS includes EMTs, Advanced EMTs, and Paramedics who work to serve the public and their communities. Serving in this capacity involves interacting with a diverse population and requires EMS professionals to be professional, kind, non-judgmental, and detail-oriented. Their role goes beyond delivering medical and trauma care; it also involves genuinely caring for patients while maintaining their own physical and mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>Graduates of these programs may be eligible to take state and\/or national certification examinations. Employment opportunities include roles in emergency medical services, fire departments, rescue agencies, hospital specialty areas, medical facilities, educational institutions, and government agencies.<\/p>\n<h4>Accreditation Information<\/h4>\n<p>Cape Fear Community College is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs ( <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caahep.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> www.caahep.org <\/a> ) upon the recommendation of The Committee on Accreditation for the EMS Professions (CoAEMSP).<\/p>\n<p>Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caahep.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> www.caahep.org <\/a> <br \/>\n9355 113th St N, #7709<br \/>\nSeminole, FL 33775<br \/>\n727-210-2350<\/p>\n<p><strong>CoAEMSP<\/strong><br \/>\n214-703-8445<br \/>\n214-703-8992 fax<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coaemsp.org\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> coaemsp.org <\/a> \n<h6>PARAMEDIC GRADUATE OUTCOMES SUMMARY<\/h6>\n<!--\n[table table class=\"table\"]\n<strong>Year<\/strong>|<strong>Paramedic Exam<Pass Rate<\/strong>|<strong>Positive<\/strong>|<strong>Placement<\/strong>|<strong>Retention<\/strong>\n2022|85.7%|first attempt|92.9%|73.7%\n2021|100%|first attempt|100%|53.8%\n2020|100%|first attempt|95.7%|88.5%\n2019|90%|first attempt|90%|76.9%  \n[\/table]\n--> <div class=\"table-responsive\"> <table class=\"table\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Year<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Pass Rate<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Positive<br \/>Placement<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Retention<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2023<\/td>\n<td>88.2%<\/td>\n<td>83.3%<\/td>\n<td>72%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2022<\/td>\n<td>85.7%<\/td>\n<td>92.9%<\/td>\n<td>73.7%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2021<\/td>\n<td>100%<\/td>\n<td>100%<\/td>\n<td>53.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2020<\/td>\n<td>100%<\/td>\n<td>95.7%<\/td>\n<td>88.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2019<\/td>\n<td>90%<\/td>\n<td>90%<\/td>\n<td>76.9%  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table> <\/div> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our program goal is to prepare competent entry-level Emergency Medical Technicians, Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians, and Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedics in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":659,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_expiration-date-status":"","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[]},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.8 -
