OHSU-OIT Paramedic Education Program

Welcome

The Paramedic Education Program is a partnership program between Oregon Health & Science University and Oregon Institute of Technology. Students invest 12-months studying the art and science of being a paramedic while in our program. After graduating, students are eligible for state and national certification exams.

This rigorous educational offering supports our mission of educating future leaders in the field of out-of-hospital medical care. Our reputation began in 1977, and continues today, built upon years of educating dynamic, thinking, paramedics.

 

Priority application period extended through February 24th, all applications due no later than April 15th.

 

We will be implementing a new application process for our 2012-2013 application period. Applicants will complete an online application for admission to the Oregon Institute of Technology, the partner college responsible for verifying and recording applicant's academic history.  Once notified by Oregon Tech that the online application has been received, applicants then complete and submit the OHSU-Oregon Tech Paramedic Program application packet which will be available to download online. Additional details will be posted when applications are available, approximately December 1st.
