Is the EMS Program difficult?
The EMS Program is a very challenging course for the majority of people. You will have to study diligently and practice skills outside of class time in order to be proficient. Across the nation, most paramedic programs have at least a 50% rate of attrition. You are expected to learn a vast amount of material to prepare you to function on your own while taking care of critical patients. On emergency scenes there is often nobody to turn around and ask a question about what should be done in many cases. This responsibility makes your education crucial.
