Kalamazoo Valley Community College 2695483231 Daniel Benard dbenard@kvcc.edu https://www.kvcc.edu/programs/health_careers/ |
Kalamazoo Valley Community College is the recipient of multiple grant awards for EMS workforce development, especially for paramedic level. These grants provide scholarship for both EMT and Paramedic. KVCC is disbursing scholarships and stipends through the financial aid office and workforce grant funds are combined with traditional scholarship and grant funds. EMT classes are offered each term, and there are one and two term part time options. Matriculation courses are a one term option for MFR's who want to complete EMT. EMT workforce scholarship includes all tuition and fee's and students may have some out of pocket expenses like textbooks, if other financial aid does not apply. For paramedic students KVCC is a degree only program and students will graduate with an Associates of Applied Science in EMS. Because we are a degree only program, grant funds can reimburse prerequisite course expenses for those admitted to the paramedic program. Paramedic funding includes all tuition and fee's, direct program costs such as textbooks and admissions screening, and a stipend for miscellaneous costs such as travel or clinical uniforms. Since the paramedic program is a 12 month, full time commitment our objective is to provide funding so there is little to no out of pocket expenses for paramedic students. KVCC is also providing scholarship for child care to qualified students who are admitted into the program. Since different grants apply to EMT and paramedic students should contact the EMS program director or Health Careers Admissions Coordinator for specific information. |

Right now in Michigan, there are many openings for EMS professionals. Whether you are looking to do intermittent work in your community helping people or you are planning to start a new and exciting career path, there is a place for you. From Medical First Responders (MFR) to Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) through to paramedic, you’ll not only make a real difference in people’s lives, you’ll learn foundational skills to apply across your life.
Is a career in EMS right for you? If you answer yes to the questions below, you could be a perfect fit.
There are two entry levels in EMS, Medical First Responder (MFR) and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). If you plan to mainly work response in your community, MFR is likely where you need to start. If you plan on a career and furthering your medical education, you should start with your EMT.
Medical First Responders (MFR) also known as Emergency Medical Responders (EMR), are people who are usually first on scene of an emergency. MFR’s are trained to treat and care for an individual until an ambulance can arrive at the scene and continue care with advanced training.
MFR training is easily obtained by many different sources within the state. MFR training is a combined course with classroom lectures, practical, hands on training with equipment and patient simulations additionally, an on-line component could also be added depending on the program you will attend. The average course time is around 60 hours of both lecture and hands-on learning.
In order to become a Paramedic, you first have to become an EMT. An EMT requires less training (and cost) than becoming a paramedic. Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) are EMS providers who may respond to emergencies in a variety of situations. The EMT may work on an ambulance with another EMT (BLS unit) or with a Paramedic on an ALS ambulance. EMT’s can also be found in hospitals working as an ER Technician or a Patient Care Technician.
EMT training is easily obtained by many different sources within the state. EMT training is a combined course with classroom lectures, and hands-on training with equipment and patient simulations. Some programs may offer a hybrid course, depending on the program you will attend. Students will be required to complete a required number of clinical hours on an ambulance and possibly a hospital ER. These hours are determined by their program, requiring the state minimum hours.
Paramedics are EMS providers who may respond to emergencies in a variety of situations. The Paramedic will normally work on an ALS ambulance or an Echo unit, which is a non-transport advanced life support capable vehicle. Echo units can be found in rural and urban response areas. Paramedics may also work as a Community Integrated Paramedic, which allows them to work with people in their homes on a non-emergency basis. Paramedics can also be found in hospitals working as an ER Technicians, Cardiac Monitoring Technicians, or a Patient Care Technicians.
Paramedic education builds on the knowledge base learned in EMT and adds IV therapy, administration of numerous medications and administration routes, defibrillation, EKG Interpretation, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, advanced airway and in addition an in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and operations.
Both EMT’s and paramedics provide emergency care and transportation and are critical links from the scene of an emergency to the health care system.
