So I will have a Bachelors of science degree in a few weeks, and I know the paramedic program contains a lot of courses that I have already taken such as A&P 1&2, Pathophysiology and Pharmacology, Bio, Chem, etc. I'm not familiar with a lot of medic programs but can anyone comment on what courses they had to take and if I may be able to forgo the A&P and things in the medic program that I've already taken previously and just take the medic lectures/labs?
Paramedic program- shortened?

Some programs may allow you to not take A&P if you already have a college level A&P course. That's likely all you'll be able to skip out on though. On the bright side, you'll be well-prepared for class and should do well.

In many paramedic programs, A&P and Pharm are not seperate courses, they are integrated with broad topics such as "cardiology" and "pediatrics". So in that type of program you probably can't skip anything.
Some programs require classes such as A&P as pre-reqs, in which case you'll be all set.
