EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES - PARAMEDIC/FIREFIGHTER
Center Campus
Along with the skills and training in the EMT/Paramedic specialty, the Fire Academy enables students to learn at our state-of-the-art Burn Tower the skills that they need to fight fires.
Additional expenses to be met by the student are (1) a health history and physical examination including testing for tuberculosis and immunizations for Hepatitis B, Rubella and Rubeola; (2) uniforms; (3) hospitalization insurance as neither the clinical facilities nor the college insures the student against accidents or illness; (4) clinical packs; and (5) academy costs.
The Associate of Applied Science degree in Emergency Medical Services-Paramedic/Firefighter program is accredited by the Michigan Department of Community Health, EMS and Trauma Systems Section, 201 Townsend Street, Lansing, Michigan 48913, 517.241.3026.
Program advisor Professor David Armstrong can be reached at 586.286.2188.
