The Freda and Robert N. Brown Paramedic Program at Union County College successes speak for themselves by the mere number of graduates and its high pass rate to the national registry exam. We encourage you to ask working paramedics about our program.

The reason that our program is so successful is because of the positive learning environment set forth by the director and faculty. The primary difference in our program is that the program is student centered. There is an emphasis in both the lectures and skill sessions to provide the material in a manner which promotes learning. There are many safety nets available to ensure student success throughout the training process.

In addition to this unique philosophical approach, the program also utilizes state of the art simulation mannequins and training equipment. The simulation mannequins allow for a more real-to-life training experience allowing an exchange between “patient” and provider. These sessions offer the faculty of the program the ability to observe and instruct each student’s need while they develop essential paramedic skills.

The program owns a fully stocked ambulance. This vehicle is utilized to emphasize key teaching points about paramedic care during transport.

In 2008 the EHS Simulation Lab went under construction to include audio-visual taping capability of student and simulation mannequin interaction. This advancement will not only modify student behavior faster but it will also enhance debriefing sessions which are meant to improve weekly performance.

The paramedic profession is dynamic and ever changing. The Union County College Paramedic Program is as dynamic as the profession that is serves employing a student centered learning environment, low student – faculty ratios, maintaining the newest equipment, best faculty members, and utilizing simulation training techniques.
