Advance your career with Pelham Trainings Paramedic Program

Paramedic is regarded as the highest tier of initial EMS responder training. Paramedics are skilled providers of emergency medical care, well-versed in subjects like anatomy and physiology, cardiology, medications, and medical procedures. Numerous graduates advance to critical care training at our facility or other programs.

Pelham Training is recognized as a top provider of initial education and training courses for out-of-hospital medical and tactical needs, along with tailored courses for sustainment and remediation.
The role of any advanced healthcare provider demands a commitment to continuous learning, good mental and physical health, an openness to new ideas and trends, and the maintenance of proficiency in basic life support skills.

Pelham’s Paramedic Program is roughly 17 weeks long and is designed based on military and fire department training courses. We have successfully trained paramedics in this format for over a decade.

Students in the paramedic program gain the necessary knowledge and skill training to initiate, create, and maintain a treatment plan for sick and injured patients at an advanced level of care.

We employ a variety of teaching and learning methods. These methods may include, but are not limited to, assigned readings, presentations, discussions, critical thinking exercises, labs, class activities, scenarios, and clinical rotations.

The Pelham Paramedic program builds on the skills and information from prior EMT training and experience to provide a comprehensive training experience.

It is essential for students to have an entirely open calendar for the entire course period.

The pace of the coursework is rapid and may pose challenges, but instructors are available to support students in both formal and informal contexts.

As a result, we offer on-site housing.

Our commitment is to your success.

Student Demographics:

The Paramedic Program is ideally designed for students who can fully commit to training on a full-time basis.

Covering individuals who are interested in:

• Enhancing their EMS career paths
• Medical personnel from the military
• Some committing to training to meet specific job requirements

Course Overview:

Our paramedic program is delivered in a clear format consisting of six classroom/lab training modules (P100 – P600) and two clinical phases (F100 and F200).

Classroom/Lab Training Phase

P100 serves as an introductory module that equips students with essential knowledge to develop as paramedic students. The curriculum includes topics such as communication, documentation, pathophysiology, and patient assessment and management. Lab skills are aligned with these subjects, introducing students to our simulations and initiating the development of their training portfolio.

P200 starts after the successful completion of P100. This course will address the vital skills necessary for airway assessment and management, as well as the assessment and management of cardiac patients. Students will be trained to evaluate airway patency, ventilation, and oxygenation using different airway adjuncts and therapies.

The subjects include: an introduction to pharmacology, basic EKG interpretation, pulmonary anatomy, physiology, and emergencies related to respiratory and cardiovascular systems.

Students will participate in the Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certification during this course.

P300 addresses specific medical complaints. Students will gain a foundational understanding of various medical emergencies that may arise in a pre-hospital setting. Subjects covered include infectious diseases, neurology, allergic reactions, toxicology, and environmental emergencies.

Practical skills and scenarios are employed during lab sessions to enhance classroom instruction.

P400 specifically addresses traumatic injuries and the various phases of trauma care. It covers everything from common injuries to more complex cases. A crucial aspect of treating these patients is understanding trauma systems, shock pathophysiology, hemorrhage control, as well as head and chest injuries, and the preventable causes of trauma-related deaths.

The topics covered include: An introduction to trauma systems, soft tissue injuries, burns, and injuries to the chest, head, and spine.

The course allows time for discussions and practical applications of medical responses to active shooter scenarios. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to recognize injury patterns and develop treatment plans for trauma patients.

P500 provides an overview of the key principles and concepts of EMS Operations and Special Considerations.

The topics covered will include an introduction to the principles of abuse and assault, the geriatric population, and individuals with special needs. Furthermore, ambulance operations and specific circumstances will be addressed in this course.

P600 offers students an extensive overview of the material covered in the paramedic program.

Students are presented with various strategies to integrate the components of their paramedic training, equipping them to sit for the National Registry written and psychomotor skills exams.

Clinical Phase

F100 represents the initial stage of clinical assignments, enabling students to enhance their understanding of classroom concepts and skills learned in the lab. It offers opportunities for interaction with patients and clinical providers in both hospital and ambulance environments.

F200 marks the start of the “Capstone” training phase, enabling students to collaborate closely with their preceptors. This phase helps them build confidence and gain practical experience as entry-level paramedics by offering chances to engage with patients and healthcare providers in pre-hospital environments.

Working Conditions:

Paramedics operate on all shifts, including varying hours, weekends, and holidays.

The role of a paramedic is physically demanding and can be stressful, often involving life-or-death scenarios.

Paramedics deliver direct patient care and must exhibit knowledge (cognitive function), skills (psychomotor function), and professionalism (affective function).
