The paramedic program is focused on the student who is interested in seeking a position as a Paramedic or other associated healthcare career fields initially upon graduation. Successful completion of the program allows the graduate to take the National Registry of EMT’s (NREMT) National Certification Examination for paramedic and apply to the State of Wyoming for licensure as a Paramedic. Upon licensure, the paramedic practices in settings where policies and procedures are specified, and guidance is available. The goal of Western Wyoming Community College is to educate competent beginning paramedic. The Paramedic is an allied health professional who can conduct invasive and pharmacological interventions. Possessing all the skills of the lower-level provider, Paramedics can also conduct a broader range of interventions based on skills that are harder to maintain and pose greater risk to patients if done incorrectly. Paramedic care is based on advanced assessment and formulating a field impression. Key core concepts of EMS education will be emphasized throughout the Paramedic Program.
