Community Paramedic
Expand your Paramedic skills beyond emergency response. This focused program prepares you to deliver in-home care, support chronic conditions, and connect patients with the resources they need in their community.
Step in before it becomes an emergency.
Community Paramedics step into homes, not just emergency scenes. This course prepares you to support patients with chronic conditions, provide follow-up care, perform in-home assessments, and help people access the services they need before problems become emergencies.
You’ll learn practical, patient-centered skills that make a direct impact on health, independence, and community well-being.
In-home assessments
Learn how to evaluate patients where they live, identify early warning signs, monitor chronic conditions, and guide patients toward safer, healthier routines.
Care coordination skills
Build the ability to work alongside physicians, nurses, social workers, and community agencies. Learn to connect patients with ongoing care, follow-up resources, and support systems that matter.
Preventive and chronic care
Strengthen your understanding of long-term conditions and how to stabilize them in the community. Learn strategies that reduce unnecessary 911 calls and prevent avoidable hospital visits.
