About EMS

The Emergency Medical Services programs at Grayson College offer three levels of EMS education: the EMT Occupational Skills Award, the EMT to Paramedicine Level 2 Certificate of Completion, and the Associate of Applied Science in Paramedicine.

At each program level, students gain additional knowledge and skills to enable them to function in clinical and field settings with physicians, nurses, firefighters and other healthcare professionals. In the classroom, students learn about anatomy and physiology, the pathophysiology of diseases, traumatic injuries, pharmacology and acute care of all age groups. Students acquire practical and field skills through laboratory practice, simulation, clinical experience in hospitals and experience with EMS providers.

The EMS program offers a two semester dual credit program for High School Seniors for more information contact: dualcredit@grayson.edu 

Successful completion of an EMS Program will prepare the student for the National Registry Certification exam, to obtain state licensure, and to work as an Emergency Medical Technician or Paramedic.
