Students must meet college English and math requirements. Students must have completed biology, algebra, and computer skills, one semester in college or two semesters in high school with grades of “C” or better in all classes.
All students must submit an Admission Worksheet for the Paramedicine Program. All students accepted into the AAS Degree or Certificate Paramedicine Program must have and maintain a current Illinois EMT, A-EMT or EMT-I license. All program participants shall maintain their qualifying license throughout completion of the program and successful completion of the licensure examination.
Students must successfully complete all PARM courses with a grade of 80% or better to be eligible to continue in the program.
Students enrolling in the AAS Degree or Certificate Paramedicine Program should be aware that clinical facilities require criminal background checks and drug screening of those involved in any aspect of patient care. Based on this, Kaskaskia College will require background checks and drug screening upon entry into the program and prior to assignment in clinical and internship settings. Students will not be allowed to participate in clinical courses when their background check or drug screen makes them ineligible for the work to be performed. The cost of such screening will be included in program fees.
Additionally, clinical facilities require proof of vaccinations of those involved in any aspect of patient care. Based on this, Kaskaskia College will require proof of vaccinations upon entry into the program and prior to assignment in clinical and internship settings. These requirements will be communicated to applicants when provisionally accepted into the program.
Students who successfully complete all required courses and meet eligibility requirements outlined by the Illinois Department of Health, National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, and Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions will be eligible to sit for National Registry Paramedic certification testing.
If, in the opinion of the program coordinator and/or director, any student's work, conduct or health might have a detrimental effect on patients or personnel within a clinical agency, said student may be withdrawn from the clinical setting.
The Kaskaskia College Paramedicine Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (www.caahep.org) upon the recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP).
