Prehospital emergency medical care is a challenging and exciting<br />

profession. People’s lives often depend on the quick reaction and<br />

competent care of emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics.<br />

Emergency medical services (EMS) professionals may work at any of<br />

four different levels: first responder, EMT–basic, EMT–intermediate,<br />

and paramedic. Upon successful completion of training, students<br />

are eligible for employment in many types of emergency medical<br />

systems nationwide—in fire departments, municipal services, private<br />

ambulance services, federal services, industry, hospital emergency<br />

departments, and hospital-based ambulance systems. The<br />

demand for EMS professionals is increasing.<br />

DACC offers all levels of EMS education, as well as an opportunity<br />

to earn an associate of applied science degree at the paramedic<br />

level. Successful completion of an EMS program will allow for<br />

certification/licensure testing at the state and national level. The<br />

Emergency Medical Services program is nationally accredited by<br />

the Committee on Accreditation on Education for the EMS Professions<br />

and approved by the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Office of Health Emergency<br />

Management.<br />

At each EMS program level, students gain additional knowledge and<br />

skills to enable them to function in the clinical and field settings with<br />

nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals. In classes,<br />

students learn about anatomy and physiology, the pathophysiology<br />

of diseases, traumatic injuries, pharmacology, and cardiac care. Students<br />

acquire skills through laboratory practice, clinical experience<br />

in hospitals, and field experience with ambulance services throughout<br />

the state. Students may be scheduled at a variety of clinical and<br />

field sites which include areas outside Las Cruces.<br />

EMS Entrance Requirements<br />

Specific entrance requirements and prerequisites vary depending on<br />

the qualifications of the applicant and the level of training/licensure<br />

sought:<br />

EMT–Basic: No prerequisites<br />

EMT–Intermediate:<br />

• Successful completion of EMT–Basic coursework<br />

• EMT–Basic license in hand prior to admission, or by end of<br />

sixth week of EMT–Intermediate program<br />

• Score of no less than 80 percent on departmental exams<br />
