This course is developed in accordance with the U.S National EMS Education Standards and the NHTSA National EMS Scope of Practice Model for EMT instruction. It focuses on developing the knowledge, skills and abilities that will allow each student to recognize the nature or extent of a patient’s condition and to administer appropriate emergency medical care to stabilize the patient’s condition, lift, move, position and otherwise handle the patient to minimize discomfort and prevent further injury and transport them safely to the proper medical facility. It is designed for individuals seeking to further their career in emergency medicine. Students frequently continue their education and go on to become paramedics, nurses and physicians. After successful completion, students may sit for the EMT Licensing Examination.
