Hands-On & online components
This 12-week EMT course has four in-class days and one out-of-classroom day per week. The day out of the classroom allows students to focus on the online portion of the curriculum. Additionally, each student will have lab instruction and hands-on training through clinical hours.
Our team uses modern teaching tools, including an EMS driving simulator, interactive simulated scene response training, and a SimMan patient simulator.
