"There is no job more rewarding than knowing you've saved someone's Life."

Ultimately, students test their knowledge in real-life clinical and internship settings. Six emergency medical services and various medical facilities serve as training grounds. Tying together the experience are experienced faculty and preceptors who supervise the students' activities.

 At the scene of an accident and in route to the hospital, paramedics administer advanced life saving medical care using state-of-the-art equipment. That might call for IV medications or defibrillation to shock the heart into beating normally. Students learn these skills in both the classroom and a laboratory setting at CVCC. Stateof- the-art anatomically correct simulators and other technologically advanced equipment provide students with the most up to date clinical learning experience.

Quick thinking and adaptability are key traits in career paramedics. One of the first people to respond to emergencies, paramedics are educated for a demanding, fast-paced and rewarding career.
