The Jersey City Medical Center/Hudson County Community College Paramedic Program offers state-of-the-art classroom technology, inventive teaching approaches and hands-on, assessment-focused clinical experiences in one of the busiest and most diverse settings in the country.

The new Jersey City Medical Center provides our students with a unique learning opportunity, as it houses the nationally recognized Heroes of September 11 Trauma Center, provides Advanced Life Support EMS for Hudson County and features the most modern emergency department and cardiac catheterization center in the State of New Jersey.

Our focus is on educating competent, confident and compassionate Paramedics who will serve the sick and injured in our local communities. The JCMC/HCCC paramedic program stresses that students demonstrate strong interpersonal skills, sound moral and ethical character, critical thinking abilities, and the capacity for making quick and appropriate decisions regarding patient care. As professional healthcare providers, JCMC/HCCC paramedic graduates are taught how to interact effectively with other emergency services personnel, to be dynamic leaders, to value life-long learning and personal development, and above all to respect and sustain human life.
