19 Best Paramedic Programs In Pittsburgh, PA (2022 Updated)

I've been attending this school for dental assisting for about 7 months now and it's definitely grown on me. After completing four years of college at a different school, I felt dissatisfied with my major and my education because I didn't feel prepared to enter the job field at all. In contrast, IMC offers the hands on training needed to pass the certifications to ultimately pave the path for the career you signed up in the first place. Classes are taught by experienced professionals who dedicate a lot of time and energy to make sure that their students are prepared for their externship and their future job. The small class sizes enable students to have a close relationship with their teachers. IMC is the type of school where you go to learn as much as you possibly can to prepare you for a job, but it's fast-paced and requires professionalism, hard work, and motivation to get to class every day to finish the program.Jen

I been here at this school since 2019 I started out doing phlebotomy. I couldn’t proceed with that program because of a death in my family , I went back January 2nd 2020 for dental Assistant and I love it.! Although the pandemic hit us hard , I continued to push it to the limit and now I’m doing internship within a few weeks I’ll be graduating. Proud to say that I did this with a lot of stress and complications. But through it all I made it and pushed through . I love the school and staff members . Couldn’t of asked for a better team here at IMBC ! With that being said I just want to take the time out and say Thankyou all for helping me reach my goal .Niya Hicks

So far IMBC has been a perfect school for me and my everyday schedule. I am able to take my children to school, and daycare everyday, and also pick them up due to IMBC having a Mommy schedule for those with children, even those without. My instructors have been excellent so far from Mrs.Amy, Miss Simmons, and Ms.G. They all work with you when it comes to assignments, grades, and wherever you may be lacking at. Each teacher has their own unique way of teaching, which makes each term exciting to look forward to. All I can say is keep up the good work IMBC!Niashia Tirado

I am in tears typing this… The 96 year old man that I care for currently has covid (we all do) and he had to call 911 today. These paramedics went ABOVE AND BEYOND for him. They went out of their way to buy him some soup and peaches (his favorite) and stayed there to cook it for him. You guys have no idea how much that meant to him!!! I am blown away by their compassion! Thank you for people so kind and thoughtful!!Amanda Dunlap

We here at Atria Cranberry Woods appreciate everything you do for our community. Your group of dedicated professionals make all the difference for our community. Thank you and please stay healthy and safe.Joseph Conver

Would not take my Husband to the hospital we wanted to go to, said it was too far and it is closer than the one they took him to. We are very upset about this because all of his Dr.'s are at the hospital we go to and there's mass confusion now because none of the staff have his records . This is uncalled for in our time of distress the Ambulance just did what they wanted.Shame on Shaler Emergency Service.Diane Keenan

I want to thank all the responders that assisted my husband during this troublesome year. With the “lift & assist “ and the numerous trips to the hospital….You made it easier to accept the outcome. It’s with heavy heart that I say he passed away on November 29th… I again say …Thank you to a wonderful team and God Bless all of you.Patricia Ott

Went for a car seat check and they were so helpful! I definitely learned a lot. Really appreciate that they offer this to the community.Shelley Schurer

I’m originally from Texas and kinda ended up here as a freshman on accident. All my dream schools rejected me or their financial aid was not pleasant. I have visited TONS of schools from Chicago, LA, NYC, ATL, TX + and all of them were “my dream place” it feels great now saying I go here because this place seriously is the best place in the world to me. I could NOT be happier here. An environment that cares about its students, throws challenges at you IF YOU WANT THEM and above all seriously a stunning and unique place. From the cathedral of learning, to its top notch education. Seriously this place is a hidden gem and I couldn’t be happier here. Don’t be fooled by its “public” status. Yes it is a public school but it gives other schools a run for their money at a seriously affordable price(assuming you get aid which is kinda on your part from academics). I can’t stress enough how perfect this place is to me. Even it’s imperfections like how it lacks grocery stores or sometimes lacks food or “cardiac Hill” all make really good stories and the school never stops improving. Is it prestigious? Not to the extent of other places. But will you have an awesome time AND a competent education that’s world class?? Yes! I sound like I’m advertising but I really feel that way and so do other students. BEST PLACE TO STUDY IN THE US. H2P!Antonio Ponce

I went to college here, and honestly best school ever! I have a BA in Communication, and I’m returning this year to get a Master of Health Administration. Everything is good, such as food, exercise facilities, professors, and social events. Pitt also helps you get an internship with their internship-guarantee program. If you go to Pitt you definitely need to do that! I did three internships and one research fellowships during college. The school is nationally ranked, always a top 100 university on US World News and Report (I think Pitt is #66 this year). School of Public Health (which I’m going to attend) is a top 20 public health school.MonaLisa Leung Beckford

This place is awful. Terrible learning environment, professors don’t give a damn, did not feel safe for even a second, noisy and obnoxious. After one year of attending this college and I already know I’ll never return even for a visit. Students and professors are disrespectful. Charging 35 grand a year for nothing but ridiculousness. If I could rate this 0/5 I would.Graham Hulse

Horrible. Diabetic handicap daughter called 1am they came told her she didn't look sick enough to go to hospital. My daughter has always had a very high threshold for pain and as I'm a nurse, I live far away, they did NO VITALS, NO ACCUCHEK. She is high risk. Poor lungs. Almost died from covid in 2020. At the hospital now getting infusion. TERRIBLE unprofessional service.Monica McCann

I needed an ambulance for the first time in my life. The crew from Scott Township EMS provided nothing short of the best care. I was thankful for their assistance during my time of need.Sean Sims

The only thing good about this EMT service was the EMT that drove the truck. He was compassionate to my needs and fears. This is the only reason I didn't rate them 1 star. I was having a reaction to my medicine and the EMT that was treating me was very cold and rude. He dismissed me as only another case of panic/anxiety disorder when I was having a reaction to the filler in the medicine! The point being EVEN if I was having a panic attack this is still a very real and frightening experience for anyone going thru it. He is in the wrong line of work!!! I heard him telling nurses at the ER also that he believed it was just panic and nothing else! This IS NOT HIS CALL! ! If I ever need an ambulance again I wil drive to Etna so I do not get this EMS service again!Dina DeMarco

Called in got a pre recording…. (saying that if we would like to set up a car seat inspection to do so through email)….. So me and my wife sent an email regarding this about a month ago….. haven’t heard anything back. Glad to see they care about their community and about the future of this nation…….gave you guys 3 stars just cause I respect what you do as a whole….. very disappointed though about the lack of caring from you guys….Josh Anonymous

Very useful for infant/toddler car seat installation & inspection. Professional, friendly service that provides peace of mind.Benjamin Carter

I called for paramedic services upon arrival to my house i was outside waiting with my partner talking when paramedic nicole snatchko got of the paramedic and ask who they were here for i replied me at which time she asked if I had other means to get to the hospital and i replied no that's what i called you for and then she proceeded to question me my insurance and the ability to pay at which time i declined feeling very discrimated against instead her adressing the fact that i am a chemo and radiation patient having severe side effects of the chemo and radiation but to add insult to injury when i called supervisor he tried to make it seem as if all my fault by telling me that upon speaking with him that because i said i was at this point experiencing chest pain that my original complaint was chills with a fever and that now i was changing up what i originally call 911 for and do the fact that mood swing do occur then told me to watch how i was talking to him so i declined to further speak with him northwest ems suck if your african americanShawnell Waldon

Decent service on the actual ride. Just wish they would stop going after me for my debt that, as I explained, I can't pay due to my lack of an income. There is also no financial assistance available and the customer service reps were rude. I had no choice in what ambulance was called to my school as they have a contract with northwest. They are a sleezy company praying on the sick and disabled.Kelly Shouldice

Wonderful care given by Kevin and Abby (if I got the names right) for my mom. After having a horrible experience myself with Bearcat, out of Washington, Northwest handled themselves with expertise in handling the situation and knowledgeable use of their equipment. I would recommend them to anyone who needs ambulance service. Thank you again.Cindy Zombek

Beware ! Extremely Rude Behavior from Both of Lady . There is a window , they will close right in front of you with insulting way . Single visit can spoil your Hall day . It's a disgrace to visit .Emily JOHN

Great crews, but management is a headache and will not fight for you. They make it sound like THE place to work, but once you're in it is a nightmare. Literally the worst management team I've ever encountered. Management team all bow down to the director who is outdated and doesn't even know current medicine. If you are someone who is willing to compromise your beliefs and education to fit the mold of the director who is cruel and down right evil, this is your place. If not, don't bother. Feel free to private message me for more details. I literally have firsthand experience with the circus here. Again, I can't say enough good things about the crews who are out in the trenches. They have your back and are phenomenal EMS providers. It's the management and director who are corrupt and should be dismissed from their duties. It's a service to the community that the management just sit behind a desk and do not venture out too often on calls. You can find the director staggering in late, with the stench of cigarettes, slurred speech and only interested in the what personal gains the management team and not that of the crews/staff. It's very sad to be honest. TCS could be an excellent entity if not for the poor management team. Unfortunately, the municipalities that they serve do not care about the service personally, rather kind of an out of sight, out of mind mentality. The new mentality/motto should be "Out with the old, in with the new. Time for reform and a change!" Sadly, several lawsuits and other managerial errors haven't led for reform. One day….hopefully!J.

I signed up for the ambulance service to assist with lifts bc I am disabled….not one person told me that this wasnt covered under my service anymore so when I fall I either pay 200 dollars or find someone yo pick me up…..talk about a law suit waiting to happenLaurie Large

I had no idea how caring and knowledgeable our EMS drivers were until we needed them. I wish to thank them for their help and credit them with all they do.Linn Domhoff

I had the unfortunate luck of needing a ride from my OB office on Monday, April 26th 2018 due to my unborn son being in distress while at my 41 week check up. I was scared and did not know what was going on. The EMT'S that walked into the Wexford office truly were my Angels. Patty and her partner, made me feel at ease during a very traumatic event. She reassured me that we would both be just fine and silently asked if she could pray for us. Her partner, whose name I can not remember, got my mother and I to Magee in a safe and swift manner. My son Milo was born healthy after 30 hours labor. From the bottom of my heart, Patty and her partner, I thank you!!❤❤Shannon Griffith

Drew and Rob did an absolutely fantastic job last night with my somewhat non emergency but definitely needed this amazing crew!!!! If you could actually request two amazing men to come to the rescue, this would absolutely hands down be them😉. Thanks so much again guys!!!! Take care and keep rockin the rescues!!!!Gina Molnar

I received care from two wonderful EMTs. They could not have been kinder, and gave us excellent advice about which hospital would be the best choice for me, based on my medical condition. I am very grateful for their professionalism and compassion.Alice

A week ago today Robinson EM Services saved my husband's life. He was having a heart attack, then cardiac arrest minutes after the EMS arrived at our home. They were able to revive him! Without their quick actions and transport to a hospital he would not be alive today. I didn't get their names but I am extremely grateful for their help.Sheri Fischer

Would not even give a one. They two ambulance personnel were very rude, not helpful, thought I was faking it. Hopefully never deal with them again.Kristy Mutz

DO NOT let them fly you or a loved one without asking what insurance they have in network, we took my mother to an in network hospital they fly for, they told us nothing about anything involving not covering her insurance, flew her across the river and sent us a 20,000 bill. I was not told of this and feel like I was somewhat duped into it. These guys are crooked.Martin Casciola

listening to scanner as I isolate … retired RN … the channel very active … can hear the tiredness at times … you are under such pressure and stress and you keep going … thank you so much for all you are doing… I do appreciate that you are there if I need you … gives me some peace of mind during this worrisome time.GAEL Moriarty

They lied to my face by saying they had my insurance but when i called my insurance they said Pittsburgh EMS never submit a claim. Very disappointed by the level of incompetence and corruption from these 'public servants'Rick Johnson
