Northeast Community College’s paramedicine program continues to prepare students for high demand careers in emergency medical services through rigorous training, extensive clinical experience, and nationally aligned standards.
On March 19, the paramedicine program was presented to the Northeast Community College Board of Governors for a continuation of the paramedicine program, with approval sought for submission to and consideration by the Nebraska Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education (CCPE).
Students complete 64 credit hours of coursework, 45 hours of clinical preparation, and approximately 70 hours of hands-on clinical experience each semester in emergency and hospital settings. The program culminates in a 192-hour internship, during which students serve as the lead provider on emergency calls under instructor supervision.
The curriculum aligns with state and national certification standards, and student outcomes are closely monitored through accreditation reviews, including first attempt pass rates on national examinations. The 2024-25 graduates had a 90% pass rate on their national examinations.
The board unanimously approved the program for continuation of the paramedicine program.
