Emergency Medical Services

Rural health care is important to the citizens of northeast Nebraska, just as providing quality education to Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel is important to the EMS and Paramedic program at Northeast Community College.

Northeast Community College, working cooperatively with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services EMS Division, offers classes for all levels of Emergency Medical Technicians. Classes offered are Emergency Medical Responder, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Pre-hospital Emergency Care for Nurses, and Paramedic. Northeast Community College also offers classes to maintain all levels of pre-hospital licensure from Emergency Responder to Paramedic.

Northeast also offers Paramedic as an Associate of Applied Science Degree. This state approved program is offered at diverse times and evenings, allowing students to maintain other job and family commitments. See Paramedic Program of Study.

Northeast Community College is approved as an advanced EMT training agency, recognized by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. For further details on the required EMT classes, see Paramedic Course Descriptions or call the Director of EMS Services.

The Paramedic program at Northeast is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).
