Paramedic Program and Paramedic Training at Centennial College

Paramedic Program and Paramedic Training at Centennial College Paramedics are the senior medical care professionals who help you at the time of accidents or any medical emergency. They work as emergency care assistants or ambulance technicians. Assessing the patient’s condition, they start the necessary treatment using high tech equipments. They also help in intravenous drips, and as well as administering oxygen and drugs.

Paramedics are very important as they meet patients first before the doctors in most of the cases.

So with extra training they might turn out to be extraordinary. They can even become the air ambulance crew.

When they arrive at the scene, they will assess the patient's condition and take potentially life­ saving decisions about any treatment needed before the patient is transferred to hospital. They then start giving the treatment, with the assistance of the emergency care assistant or ambulance technician. They are trained to drive what is in effect a mobile emergency clinic and to stabilize patients using sophisticated techniques, equipment and drugs.

They might be called out to someone who has fallen from tower, for example, or an elderly person with a suspected stroke. Based at a local ambulance station or a large hospital along with other emergency crews, they work shifts, including evenings and weekends, going out in all weathers at all hours of the night or day. They work closely with doctors and nurses in hospital accident and emergency departments, briefing them as they hand their patient over to their care.

As well as contact with patients, they also deal with patients' relatives and members of the public, some of whom may be hysterical or aggressive. They also often work alongside the police and fire brigade.
