Community Paramedic Certification

Description

The certification process is focused on the knowledge level of accomplished, experienced community paramedics. The expectation for the CP-C exam candidate is competency in mobile integrated healthcare, and expanded EMS services in rural and urban settings, including various healthcare, mental health, and housing and service needs. This examination is not meant to test entry-level knowledge, but rather to validate competency of those paramedics providing services beyond the roles of traditional emergency care and transport.
