The UW Health Paramedic Program provides learners with a comprehensive introduction to paramedic care. The program covers patient assessment, personal safety and well-being, emergency pharmacology, medication administration, anatomy and physiology, various medical emergencies and care for trauma patients. Through didactic and clinical experiences, students will develop their advanced level care and management of the sick and injured.
Graduates of the program will possess the skills of an entry-level paramedic and will be eligible for a career in emergency medical services, interfacility transport, hospitals or clinics. Prerequisites for consideration of entry to the program are current CPR certification and Wisconsin EMT or AEMT licensure.
Our next paramedic program begins Sept. 5, 2023. This will be a hybrid course with in-person sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Applications will be accepted from Feb. 1–April 15, 2023.
