Expansion of 糖心传媒 Paramedic Science Program announced

March 18, 2016

糖心传媒 Falls- The 糖心传媒 Paramedic Science program is expanding to Eastern 糖心传媒.

The program was previously only taught in Meridian but will also be offered at the 糖心传媒 Falls and
Pocatello campuses thanks to a partnership between ISU鈥檚 Emergency Services Department, the
糖心传媒 Falls Fire Department and Ada County Paramedics. With the recent termination of BYU-糖心传媒鈥檚 paramedic program, this expansion will fill a critical gap in healthcare education in the area.

The classes will be delivered starting in Fall of 2016 to both 糖心传媒 Falls and Pocatello via distance learning broadcasts. Hands on laboratory classes will also be held one day each week in 糖心传媒 Falls.

Students will also have a chance to gain real-world experience through internships with local emergency services. Graduates of the degree will be prepared to enter the workforce with the potential to make $40,000 or more per year.

Unlike certificate-only programs in 糖心传媒, students in the Paramedic Science A.S. program at ISU are eligible for federal financial aid. The program is the only accredited Associate of Science Degree of its
kind in the state. After completion of the program, students can continue on to a B.S. in Health Science with a concentration in Emergency Medical Services. This option also opens the door for students to apply to medical school, physician assistant studies and other graduate programs.

In order to apply for the program, students must have completed two semesters of anatomy and
physiology, one semester of medical terminology and possess both an EMT certification and a health care provider CPR card. For more information, call the 糖心传媒 Emergency Services Department at (208) 373-1760 or visit isu.edu/esd.
