Emergency Medical Technician – Basic
You can become trained in basic emergency care and be confident that if
a medical emergency threatens your family or your friends, you can
provide important first-aid assistance in the critical early minutes of
any emergency. Use your special experience for your personal
satisfaction and security, or participate in the state certification
procedures leading to registration as Emergency Medical Technician –
Basic. This course is ideal for parents who want to be prepared for
normal childhood emergencies, rural residents who live far from
established emergency medical organizations, people who work with
children (athletic team coaches, scout leaders, day care staff),
industrial safety personnel, public safety personnel, including fire
service and law enforcement, area high school students may enroll in the
Basic-EMT under the Dual Enrollment Program with Shelton State.
Subjects that are covered in EMT-Basic include ambulance operation and
scene techniques, hazardous material awareness, medical legal aspects.
Upon successful completion of the course and 48-hours of clinical
rotations, you may choose to take the National Registry of Emergency
Medical Technicians exam to become nationally certified and state
licensed. This also allows you to continue your emergency medical care
training at a more advanced level, including the paramedic level.
