| Description: |
| This course prepares students to function as basic life support providers on ambulances. EMTs respond to calls ranging from major emergencies to inter-facility transports. EMTs also work in hospital emergency departments and clinics. EMT is the first step toward becoming a paramedic.
Beginning with the study of anatomy and physiology, students gain an understanding of the causes, signs and symptoms, and treatment of all types of medical emergencies. Students supplement their medical knowledge through simulated patient care experience, observation time in an emergency department, and / or ride-alongs with local ambulances.
