Paramedic class

Paramedics receive training and certification beyond the requirements for an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). In order to be licensed as a Paramedic, individuals must complete more than 1,000 hours of classroom and clinical training, including supervised experience in an ambulance, patient care experience, and basic and advanced life support protocols.

The Condell Medical Center EMS System Paramedic Program is recognized as a CAAHEP accredited program. Graduates of this program will sit for the NREMT-Paramedic examination to be eligible for state licensure. All applicants must be dual enrolled in the Program as well as the institutional affiliate, the College of Lake County.

To prepare competent entry-level paramedics in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains. All Paramedic students must pass the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians cognitive exam to qualify for licensure in Illinois.
