Benefits of pursuing a paramedical course

Now Math/commerce/Arts students can also do B.Voc Paramedical courses.

A paramedical staff usually is a health care professional who works for the emergency medical services, typically on an ambulance. They render their services to people who have gotten injured or become ill very suddenly.

Paramedics are capable and trained to do many different things to handle ambiguous situations and decide what the problem is and how to deal with it to treat the patient at the spot itself. And If there is a need, they can then take the person to a hospital in the ambulance. They try to normalize or prevent the person’s illness/injury from getting worse before they reach the hospital, where doctors and nurses will take over. Paramedical staff have to work in various types of emergency, and cannot predict what the next one will be.

We often use the term “paramedic” for a medical staff who works on an ambulance. However, not all ambulance crew have paramedic as their job title. “Emergency Medical Technicians” or “Emergency Care Assistants” do similar work but have less training,  while some ambulances also have doctors and nurses. In many countries, the title of “paramedic” is for those who have taken a specific training course.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has launched a scheme on skills development based on higher education as part of college/university education, leading to Bachelor of Vocation & Master of Vocation (B. Voc. & M. Voc.) Degree as per National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF). The B. Voc. & M. Voc. program is focused on universities and colleges providing undergraduate & post graduate studies which would also incorporate specific job roles and their NOSs along with broad based general education. This would enable the graduates completing B. Voc. to make a meaningful participation in accelerating India’s economy by gaining appropriate employment, becoming entrepreneurs and creating appropriate knowledge.
