Penn College to launch hybrid paramedic program in Jan. 2021

Williamsport, Pa. – In order to provide flexible options to EMTs who want to complete a paramedic education program while continuing to work, Pennsylvania College of Technology will be launching a new hybrid instruction option combining in-person and online learning in January of 2021.

The lecture portion of the paramedic coursework will be live streamed and recorded for later viewing by hybrid instruction students. Traditional students will still have the option of attending in-person lectures. All students will still receive the same hands-on clinical experiences, including over 1,000 hours in field and clinical settings like the Little League World Series, Penn State home football games, and a rotation in a cadaver skills lab.

Students will also spend over 200 hours in the program’s dedicated simulation labs featuring a family of lifelike manikins, a unique crash car that simulates accident scenes, and an ambulance. Labs can be toured virtually on Vimeo or by contacting Christopher T. Boyer, paramedic program director, at paramedic@pct.edu.
