EMT Course Description

Course Description: Emergency Medical Technicians provide out-of-hospital emergency medical care and transportation for critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical services (EMS) system. EMTs have the basic knowledge and skills necessary to stabilize and safely transport patients ranging from non-emergency and routine medical transports to life-threatening emergencies. Emergency Medical Technicians function as part of a comprehensive EMS response system, under medical oversight. Emergency Medical Technicians perform interventions with the basic equipment typically found on an ambulance. Emergency Medical Technicians are a critical link between the scene of an emergency and the health care system.  Source: https://www.ems.gov/education/EMSScope.pdf

EMT Clinical Rotations

This Section will allow the EMT student to apply the knowledge and skills they have learned in EMT Program to the healthcare setting.  This is considered the “clinical” portion of the program.   You must be at least 18 years old to participate in the clinical. Each student will observe and assist hospital personnel in a hospital-based emergency department.  Additionally, each student will observe and assist prehospital care providers by riding along in an ambulance unit.. The clinical portion of the program is reserved for the latter half of the semester after the student has mastered several basic concepts.  The hours of clinical rotation are arranged through the Clinical Coordinator and the instructor oversees the student in the clinical setting either directly or indirectly.
