The program consists of approximately 490 didactic and lab hours as well as 660 clinical hours. Clinical time begins in the first semester and continues throughout the length of the program. Clinical sites are located in Rochester, Albert Lea, Austin, Mankato, Owatonna, St. Cloud, Duluth, and La Crosse Wisconsin. Travel to some of these locations is optional. We believe in exposing you to as many experiences and opportunities as possible.
Work is underway to expand the list of clinical sites.
While the program credit load by definition is not a full load, considerable time outside of the classroom is needed to successfully complete the program and prepare you for licensing exams. I look forward to meeting each of you and preparing you to become the best paramedic possible.
