Program Description
This program prepares the graduate to perform pre-hospital care including assessments, skills and transportation for clients suffering from traumatic injury or other medical emergencies. It includes both the Basic EMT and Intermediate EMT levels.
Additional Course Information
The Emergency Medical Services certificate program provides instruction in emergency medical training that will prepare a student to sit for the external certification for EMT Basic and EMT Intermediate.
In an emergency, EMTs and paramedics are typically dispatched by a 911 operator to the scene, where they often work with police and fire fighters. Once they arrive, EMTs and paramedics assess the nature of the patient's condition, while trying to determine whether the patient has any pre-existing medical conditions. Following protocols and guidelines, they provide emergency care and transport the patient to a medical facility. EMTs and paramedics operate in emergency medical services systems where a physician provides medical direction and oversight.
