Overview

The Paramedicine program at MCC prepares students interested in helping those in need on the front lines. Your first step in paramedicine is having a current Basic Life Support CPR class from either the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross. Your next step is to successfully complete the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course and obtain an EMT license for NE.

Emergency medical technicians and paramedics are the first responders to medical emergencies. Students in the program learn important criteria for becoming an EMT, including CPR, prehospital trauma life support, critical care and more.

The MCC Paramedicine program is ideal for students who want to help others and perform well in stressful, quick-changing situations.

Our goal is to prepare competent entry-level Paramedics in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains, with or without exit points at the Emergency Medical Technician, and/or Emergency Medical Responder levels.
