Paramedic
Diploma
Program Code: 07651
Campus: North
Length: 4 semesters
Humber’s Paramedic diploma program gives you a solid grounding in the knowledge and skills needed for this intense, fast-paced profession. You will learn how to effectively deal with medical and traumatic emergencies through practical and theory courses in paramedical science, human anatomy, physiology and psychology, pharmacology, and patient lifting. Your in-depth paramedic training will also include instruction in the communication skills needed to interact with patients and to collaborate with colleagues in a health-care team.
You will learn about the various contexts in which paramedics work and put classroom concepts to use through a clinical practice course, exposing you to the role of paramedics in hospital departments such as acute and emergency care.
This program is not available to international applicants.
Students graduate with more than 550 hours combined work placement experience in both the paramedic services and acute care hospital settings. Beginning in Semester 2, students may spend blocks of time or single days in these settings, depending on the placement.
