Our Approach

Material is delivered systematically through a diverse array of educational modalities and settings.

P

Well-Equipped Learning Environment

Our classrooms come equipped with comfortable seats, climate control, and state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment to provide our students with the optimal learning environment for lecture-based material.

P

Integrated Virtual Resources

Our program embraces virtual learning as an integral aspect of how many students access material and study. Each student receives a tablet computer and access to an extensive library of electronic textbooks and resources. Students can preview lecture material in advance and many of our lectures are pre-recorded to enable students to complete a portion of weekly assignments remotely.

P

Interactive Small Group Sessions

We supplement classroom and online learning with interactive small group tutorials with a high instructor-to-student ratio to further emphasize and clarify key content areas throughout the course.

P

Focused Skill Workshops

Our students use industry-standard equipment to practice extensively in hands-on small group workshops. As students advance their competencies, we incorporate these skills into simulations for additional practice repetitions.

Many students take advantage of access to equipment outside of scheduled time with dedicated instructors on hand to coach and help with remediation as needed.

P

High-Fidelity Simulations

We integrate high fidelity simulation exercises throughout the program to challenge students to think on their feet in realistic scenarios. Frequent simulation and focused debriefing help students learn to apply and contextualize important knowledge and skills. They practice working as a team under stressful circumstances and receive focused feedback and coaching from seasoned instructors.

Patient Interactions and Practical Experiences

Our students gain invaluable practical experience through direct participation in the care of real patients. During six weeks of Clinical Internship shifts, students practice assessments and skills under the supervision and mentorship of experienced clinicians in a hospital setting. Over nine weeks of Field Internship ride-alongs, students work with experienced EMS crews and gain firsthand insight into the day-to-day work of a paramedic.
