Emergency Medical Services

The Emergency Medical Services program at NACC stands ready to prepare you for an exciting career in emergency medical services. There are three levels of emergency medical services providers in Alabama. EMTs are licensed to provide basic life support and to assist the sick and injured. Advanced EMTs provide limited Advanced Life Support (ALS) skills. 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 U.S.

Northeast Alabama Community College's Paramedic Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs or CAAHEP (www.caahep.org) upon the recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the EMS Professions or CoAEMSP.
