Southwestern College's Paramedic program has been nationally accredited for more than a decade and our graduates are consistently sought out as desirable employees and quality practitioners.

Our EMT, paramedic and fire science training programs are working towards ensuring continuity within the programs and we would like a candidate who has a fire service background or understands the common dynamics between the EMS and fire services.
