Paramedicine

In the SCTCC’s paramedicine program, we teach students the necessary skills to provide the best care to future patients. We teach our students how to effectively assess patients for medical and trauma instances, basic and advanced airway management, endotracheal intubation (ETI), and ventilator management.

After graduating, students will know the necessary processes needed to succeed in the workforce. At SCTCC, we train our students how to utilize Supraglottic Airways, Surgical Airway and Cricothyrotomy, Transtracheal Jet Insufflation, Bag Valve Masks (BVM), and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP).

With a paramedicine degree from SCTCC, graduates can administer Intravenous Access (IV), Intraosseous Access (IO), and medication for over 60 different medications. Our students ensure quality care by interpreting cardiac rhythms and 12 Lead application.

We even teach our students how to use pacing, defibrillation, and cardioversion, chest decompression, bandaging, splinting, and spinal immobilization so that every paramedicine graduate from SCTCC is prepared for the workforce.
