Paramedic certificate programs combine classroom lectures and applied skill labs with clinical experiences in a variety of settings, including hospitals and ambulances. They're designed to train aspiring paramedics to provide advanced life support in emergency situations, including IV initiation and drug administration. Certificate programs usually include coursework in:
Patient assessment
Airway management
Medical emergency management
Medical care for special populations
They also gain extensive clinical field experiences that prepare them to recognize, assess and manage medical emergencies of injured or acutely ill patients. Areas of study include:
Anatomy and physiology
Pharmacology
Trauma management
Cardiology
Advanced respiratory care

Paramedic school was exhausting, but it was fun! The most important subject to study, is Advanced Cardiac Life Support. All the others are much easier. I got the book and studied it before paramedic school. Here are some of the frequent calls you will answer 911. Breathing difficulty, chest pain cardiac, unconscious person, injured person, motor vehicle collision and pedestrian struck.
