Welcome to the Southwestern College Paramedic Program. We developed this site to help answer some frequently asked questions and provide resources for students, staff and the EMS community.
Use the links on the left to find the information you need. If you are planning to download forms or documents, some of them require Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded free.
The goal of the Southwestern College Paramedic Program is to prepare competent entry-level Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedics in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains.
