Program / Admission Details

Program Description
The Emergency Medical Technician program provides training for out-of-hospital emergency medical care and transportation of critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical services (EMS) system. Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) have basic knowledge and skills necessary to stabilize and safely transport patients ranging from non-emergency and routine medical transports to life threatening emergencies. EMTs function as part of a comprehensive EMS response system, under medical oversight. EMTs perform interventions with the basic equipment typically found on an ambulance. EMTs are a critical link between the scene of an emergency and the health care system.
Admission Requirements

The Emergency Medical Technician program is open to qualified high school and adult students who meet the following requirements:

  • High school students must be seniors
  • Students must be 18 in order to test for state licensure
  • Adult students must have a high school diploma or equivalent
  • All students must complete the placement assessments as noted below

Students must also submit the following documentation:
