HYBRID PARAMEDIC PROGRAM
Ozarks Tech offers a Hybrid Paramedic Program that allows students to attend school virtually and only come to campus for labs.
The same pre-requisite courses are required for this program as the traditional. Acceptance also requires meeting a 75 on the entrance exam areas. Once accepted, students in the hybrid program enjoy the program content being online, so they have the flexibility to complete their work at a time that works for them. Another great feature of this program is the flexibility of labs. Labs are completed in person on the day you pick and at the location you pick! (not all locations available each day) No more swapping shifts or taking days off to make sure you can attend class. Clinical and internship are also very flexible to work around your schedule.
For more information about this option email freemajo@otc.edu
100% NREMT Pass for the 1st Hybrid Cohort!
