Division: Healthcare Program Manager: Jennifer Kline The Certificate of Competency (CCT) in Emergency Medical Technology (EMT) program includes techniques of emergency care, stabilization, and immobilization of a victim's illness and injuries. Recognition and documentation of signs and symptoms of illness and injury, intervention, and evaluation of the intervention are integrated into the program. Techniques for assessment, administration of oxygen, use of specific immobilization devices, and preparation for transportation are other areas of the program. As an EMT student, you will be challenged daily in class as you learn the crucial skills needed to perform in emergency medicine. The EMT program will take students with minimal to zero medical knowledge and in 20 weeks have them trained and prepared to assist people in their most critical time of need. EMT's are trained to handle events such as heart attacks, strokes, internal bleeding, diabetic problems, and trauma patients. The EMT program is the first step toward a career in emergency medical services. The techniques taught in the program are in accordance with the state and national curriculum. Successful completion of this program will make students eligible to sit for the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) certification examination in order to gain state certification. Program Notes: Program is not financial aid eligible. Students must successfully complete 10 simulated clinical scenarios, the final cognitive exam and the NREMT Psychomotor Skills exam in order to complete the program.
