ENMU-Roswell EMS Education Program

ENMU-Roswell established the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) program in 1986 offering EMT Basic and Intermediate classes. In 1988, the program became the first decentralized Paramedic program outside of Albuquerque in conjunction with the University of New Mexico EMS Academy. In 1991, ENMU-R’s EMS program became independent from the EMS Academy, becoming New Mexico’s second New Mexico EMS Bureau EMS Education Program. ENMU-Roswell became accredited by the Joint Review Committee of EMT-Paramedic Programs (now called Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the EMS Professions) in 1994. Since the EMS program’s beginning, more than 10,000 students have gone through its programs or classes. This includes over 750 First Responder, 2000 EMT-Basic, 900 EMT-Intermediate, and 750 Paramedic students who have graduated.
