Paramedic Refresher/Challenge Program

Paramedic Refresher Program
The paramedic refresher program is for students whose EMT-P certification is about expire. The EMT-P certification is good for three years. The paramedic refresher program course is designed to review skills and didactic information to prepare the student for the New York State Written and practical Exams.
 
Paramedic Challenge Refresher Program
The paramedic challenge refresher program uses both written and practical examinations to uncover areas of weakness in didactic knowledge and practical skill proficiency. The student will only be required to attend the sessions that are mandatory and the sessions related to the topics that student's demonstrated weakness in. As an example, if the student did not do well in the Medical Emergencies section of the examination and they were unsuccessful at the Patient Assessment station the student would be required to attend the lecture and skills session.

If the student fails one or two skill stations the student will only be required to attend the lab practice for those skills. The student will then retest on the failed skills. If the student fails more than two skill stations, they will be required to attend all skill lab sessions and retest on all the skill stations.
