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 />
