About

The CCEMT-P course is designed to prepare paramedics and nurses to function as members of a critical care transport team. The program bridges the gap between pre-hospital and in hospital care; resulting in a specialized provider who has both the understanding of the aspects of caring for a critically ill patient and has the ability to provide the highest level of care to the critically ill patient during transport. The class meets for two (2) weeks everyday from 8am to 6pm. There will be one weekend day off between weeks. Most classes take place at or near the Center for Emergency Medicine Office of Education in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh, PA.
