Paramedic Program

LC State and Idaho State University (ISU) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to help address the critical shortage of paramedics in rural Idaho as well as to create pathways for more qualified applicants into other health professions programs (read the news release).

The agreement will expand ISU's existing paramedic science academic program to the LC State campus beginning fall of 2025, allowing students in the northern part of the state to have access to comprehensive paramedic education in their own community. ISU has a 20-year history in paramedic education, which includes a 98% pass rate on the national licensing exam.

Students who complete the program can earn an academic certificate or an Associate of Science in Paramedic Science from ISU and can become certified to work as paramedics as well as have seamless transfer opportunities to LC State's Bachelor of Science Health Studies or Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree programs. 

The demand for paramedics in Idaho is expected to increase 11 percent by 2030.
