About the Program

Tacoma Fire Department’s Paramedic Training Program has emerged as a model for fire-based paramedic training. Nationally accredited, the program provides students with education and training of the highest quality. While in the classroom, and field and clinical sites, students are taught, coached and mentored by experienced firefighter/paramedics as well as subject matter expert physicians and nurses who demonstrate predictable excellence in the delivery of emergency services.

The programs goal is to prepare Paramedics who are competent in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domain to enter the profession.

Graduates of this program have a reputation in this community as highly trained, highly skilled, and highly experienced providers of advanced life support.
