The MSc in Medical Device Design is a one-year full-time taught master's delivered in NCAD in conjunction with TCD. The course is based in a dedicated Medical Device Design Studio on the NCAD campus. The programme consists of a combination of taught modules and studio-based project work.

The Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course prepares the student to provide pre-hospital assessment and care for patients of all ages with a variety of medical conditions and traumatic injuries. Areas of study include an introduction to emergency medical services systems, roles and responsibilities of an EMT, anatomy and physiology, medical emergencies, trauma, special considerations for working in the pre-hospital setting, and providing patient transport. The EMT Program meets 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 Rocky Mountain College (RMC) Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc) Program promotes the Physician Assistant profession through the enhancement of knowledge in leadership, healthcare policy, quality medical delivery improvement, and research. This cutting-edge Program is facilitated by excellent faculty who are subject-matter experts. All courses are taught by PA-C, DMSc, PhD, MD’s with extensive experience in academia as well as clinical practice.

The Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) primarily provides basic and limited advanced emergency medical care and transportation for critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical system. The AEMT possesses the basic knowledge and skills necessary to provide patient care and transportation and functions as part of a comprehensive EMS response operating under medical oversight. They perform interventions using the basic and some advanced equipment typically found on an ambulance. They take on the critical role of being the link from the scene of the emergency to the emergency health care system. The Advanced EMT Program meets 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 Advanced EMT cognitive and psychomotor exams.

The EMS-Paramedic Certificate Program prepares students to practice as an advanced EMS provider with opportunities for increased responsibility. The 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. The EMT Program meets 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 for Emergency Medical Technicians Paramedic examination.

The EMS-Paramedic/Firefighter 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.
