The EMS-Paramedic A.A.S. Program prepares students to practice as an advanced EMS provider with opportunities for increased responsibility. Students will achieve competencies in the cognitive, psycho-motor, and affective domains from didactic instruction, classroom lab skills, and actual clinical application with patient contacts under the supervision of a trained pre-hospital and hospital preceptor. Students will learn to administer medication, start intravenous lines, interpret EKG rhythm strips, and deliver the appropriate interventions, as well as to administer many other advanced life support procedures. Both tracks in the EMS Paramedic/Firefighter A.A.S. program meet the National EMS Education Standards (current edition), National EMS Scope of Practice Model skills (2019), and the Illinois EMS Scope of Practice Model skills (2019). Graduates of this program are eligible to take the National Registry EMT cognitive exam.

The Cardiovascular Technology (CVT) program is dedicated to training skilled professionals in the field of adult cardiac sonography, an allied health profession vital to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. As integral members of the healthcare team, cardiovascular sonographers perform non-invasive exams to gather detailed information about a patient's heart anatomy and function, aiding physicians in making accurate diagnoses and developing effective treatment plans.
