akroeze Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 JUST tuition and NO other expense at all (not even books) and before taxes PCP: 2 years (4 semesters) ~$4040CDN ACP: 1 year (3 semesters) ~$9000CDN So to get to the ALS level is costing me in tuition alone $13040CDN before taxes and the equivalent of 3 and a half years. Factor in all of my other spendings and I almost guarantee that I am spending over 30k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroeze Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 An ALS class that is one semester long? Almost makes me regret taking 7 times longer and still not being able to do as many 'skills'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwayneEMTP Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 About 2 1/2 years for an AAS in Emergency Medicing...I've lost track of cost. Somewhere around $12-15,000 for about 80 college units. There was a lot of expense in clinicals. Driving, food, etc. I'm a little suprised by most of the clinical hours posted here. At the end of next month I will have about 830 clinical hours. Approx 310/hospital and our program requires a minimum of 520 preceptor hours. (Count the 2 hour 30 minute round trip to school 4-5 days a week and each shift of clinicals and...Well, I don't really want to know what it comes to.... :wink: ) Dwayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustdevil Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 The averge here is 13-16 months a few days a week and about $5000. Does anyone know of a shorter program that is more days a week? Lots of them. Google "accelerated paramedic" and be amazed at the number of 3 and 4 month medic schools that go all day long. But most of them turn out a crap medic. I would recommend them only to somebody with a nursing or other science degree behind them, because they only teach the cookbook in those schools. I sure wouldn't hire you.

Kaisu Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 2 semesters general studies and A & P - 2 semesters paramedic - 16 hours lecture per week, 5 hours labs per week, 24 hours clinicals biweekly (total of 1200 hours + clinicals) and 240 hours dual medic preceptorship with minimum 50 patient contacts - 20 as lead medic. The paramedic year means no life outside of school. For every hour of lecture, it takes me about 2 hours of study and reading to keep up. Cost - about 4K per year. Total 8K (thats books and tuition - not food, gas, etc. and I drive 45 minutes 1 way to school and 1 hour plus to clinicals and ridetime) I am thrilled with my education by the way.. and look forward to a lifetime of learning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
