Looking for an Exciting New Career?
What About Becoming an EMT or Paramedic?
The Emergency Medical Services program at
Northeast Alabama Community College stands ready to prepare you
for an exciting career in emergency medical services. The
program is entering a new era with the addition of the new
Health Education building to campus, as well as new
state-of-the-art equipment, e.g., the cardiac monitor.
Instructional technology has been integrated into the classrooms
and more new equipment is expected soon.
Students may choose from two levels of emergency medical
technicians (EMTs). Basic EMTs are licensed to provide basic
life support and to assist the sick and injured. Paramedics are
licensed to provide all aspects of advanced life support,
including cardiac monitoring, defibrillation, cardioversion,
emergency pacing, administration of medications, and intubation.
Paramedics are in high demand locally and across the US. The
occupational outlook includes a 36% increase in the number of
positions available in Alabama through the year 2014. NACC has
had a 100% job placement rate for paramedic graduates since the
program inception in 1999.
If you are interested in enrolling in one of these programs,

woottenr@nacc.edu. For
