Each EMT course is taught by EHS Department faculty. The certification program includes classroom instruction, skills practice laboratories, and clinical rotations which offer the student the opportunity to apply their skills techniques in closely supervised patient care settings. Following successful completion of classroom and clinical instructions, students will be promoted to field internship where they will work as a team with other Paramedics to provide pre-hospital life support to the ill or injured.
