The Paramedicine Program is an Emergency Medical Services Education Program approved by the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems as required by the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR). In addition, Baltimore City Community College has been issued a Letter of Review by the Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP). This letter is NOT a CAAHEP accreditation status. Rather, it is a status signifying that a program seeking initial accreditation has demonstrated sufficient compliance with the accreditation standards through the Letter of Review Self Study Report (LSSR) and other documentation. Letter of Review is recognized by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) for eligibility to take the NREMT’s Paramedic credentialing examinations. However, it is NOT a guarantee of eventual accreditation.
The Paramedicine Program offers a choice of certificates based on the current certification level of the entering student and an AAS Degree in Paramedicine.
The Paramedic Bridge Certificate allows Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers who are currently certified as Maryland Cardiac Rescue Technicians to advance to certification as a Nationally Registered Paramedic.
