How can I get into Paramedics?
I aspire to make a career in paramedics. Can I go for a course in paramedic right after class 10 or do I need to complete 10+2 before joining any such course? Please recommend me the institutes where I should apply. Please suggest me what to do next. Currently, I am in 10th standard in science stream.
There are courses in paramedic that can be pursued right after 10th while the others take in admission only after 10+2. I would definitely suggest that you should go for a course in paramedics after the completion of 10+2. However, if you are open to go for diploma courses, you can consider 3 years Diploma Course in Paramedical Sciences in Medical Lab Technology, Medical X-Ray Technology, Medical Records Technology, Operation Theatre Technology, Dialysis Technology, Health Inspector, Ophthalmic Technology, Dental Mechanic, and Dental Hygiene.
If you join these courses after the completion of 10+2, it will be a 2 years program for you. Some institutes where you can consider pursuing a paramedics degree are: All India Institute of Medical Science, New Delhi; Manipal College of Allied Health Sciences, Manipal; Teerthanker Mahaveer College of Paramedical Sciences, Moradabad; Delhi Institute of Paramedical Sciences, New Delhi; Pulipati Prasad Paramedical and College of Nursing, Khammam, Andhra Pradesh; HKL School of Nursing and Paramedical Sciences, Ferozepur, Punjab; Priyadarshni Institute of Paramedical Sciences, Trivandrum Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram; Jaya College of Paramedical Sciences, Thiruvallur; Pushpanjali Institute of Paramedical Sciences, Ghaziabad.
