EMT Advanced Life Support - Paramedic
Training Authority for EMT-Advanced Life Support - Paramedic
The Mississippi Community College System offers Paramedic programs throughout the state of Mississippi. The Board of Health - through regulations - sets guidelines and minimum standards to establish a minimum level of training for the advanced level EMS Provider. These are required to be met by all Paramedic Programs in the state.

To be accepted in to a Mississippi Paramedic Training Program, each applicant:
- Must be a Mississippi certified EMT
- Must successfully pass a re-test of EMT skill and knowledge
- Must provide past academic records for review by an admissions committee.
- Completion of eight semester hours of anatomy and physiology (A&P I, II with Labs) from an accredited post-secondary school. A minimum average of C or higher must be obtained. These may be taken as prerequisite or corequisite courses.
