Certified Intensive Care Paramedic:
Setting a New Education Standard in Paramedic Advanced Practice

The Certified Intensive Care Paramedic (CICP) program establishes the new national educational standard for paramedics seeking to advance their career to the critical care level.  Working with the Association of Air Medical Services we have established the curriculum that will provide you with the education, knowledge, skills-sets, and critical thinking that is required at this level.

Realizing the time limitations of students, the Division of Critical Care Education, in conjunction with the Association of Air Medical Services (AAMS), has created an entire pre-course component on-line for easy access.  Students can begin the CICP pre-course curriculum as early as 90 days before the class begins.

The classroom didactic/lab component consists of 88 hours of lecture and lab. Students are not only instructed on the "why and when," but practice the "how" to initiate the development of critical thinking at the advanced level.

Observe, Assist, and Perform -- The clinical component allows the participants to put it all together by actually being in the intensive care setting at various locations throughout the Cleveland Clinic Health Systems, as well as with various critical care transport services. 

 
Physicians, Nurses and Paramedics - all nationally recognized leaders in their discipline - author the topics that you want and need to know, and serve as the instructors for the program.
