We also congratulate Josh in receiving this award, which is a testament to his excellence in instruction in the paramedic program.”
ASU-Beebe’s emergency medical services (EMS) program offers emergency medical technician (EMT), advanced emergency medical technician (AEMT) and paramedic training. The coursework prepares students to take the national licensure exam (NREMT) and begin or continue careers in emergency medical services.
The program prepares students for careers, such as ambulance and fire services, emergency departments, helicopter EMS, disaster and wilderness medicine and urgent care clinics. Emergency medical technicians and paramedics earn a competitive salary in a fast-growing industry.
