3materials ($5,000), and accreditation costs ($5,000). The total estimated new cost is
$318,350 for the program’s first three years. All major equipment for the program is
being provided by the Lowcountry Regional EMS Council.
Shown below are the estimated Mission Resource Requirement (MRR) costs to
the state and new costs not funded by the MRR associated with implementation of the
proposed program for its first three years. Also shown are the estimated revenues
projected under the MRR and the Resource Allocation Plan as well as student tuition.

These data demonstrate that if Trident Technical College can meet the projected student
enrollments as they are shown in the proposal, the program will not be able to cover new
costs with revenues it generates by the third year of its implementation. However, some
in-kind contributions from the Low-Country Regional EMS Council will help defray
costs.
In summary, Trident Technical College proposes to offer a program leading to the
Associate in Health Sciences degree in Emergency Medical Technology that will prepare
graduates for certification as EMT-Paramedics. These graduates will meet the needs of
the college’s service area for trained EMT-Paramedics to at least partially fill the
projected need for workers in this field.
Recommendation
The staff recommends that the Committee on Academic Affairs and
Licensing commend favorably to the Commission approval of the proposed program
leading to the Associate in Health Sciences degree in Emergency Medical Technology at
Trident Technical College’s for implementation in Fall 2005, provided that no “unique
cost” or other special State funding is requested or required.
