Community Paramedicine

Community Paramedicine is a new community care model allowing EMTs and Paramedics to expand their role. The certificate trains EMTS and Paramedics to help public health and primary care providers deliver preventative care. Employer demand in the EMS and in public health is growing. This model is supported by the National Association of State EMS Officials and the National Organization of Rural Health Offices. It is also supported by the Center for Leadership, Innovation, and Research in EMS.

Paramedic to Nurse

The Paramedic-to-Nurse Program enables experienced paramedics to transition into nursing through specialized bridge courses. To be eligible for admission, students must have two years of paramedic experience. They must also complete nursing prerequisites. After completing the bridge program and general education courses with a C or better, students can advance. They may then enter the Associate Degree program. They will then qualify for a Registered Nursing License in North Dakota.
