Emergency Medical Services
Through over 250 hours of classroom and clinical internships, Emergency Medical Technician students acquire basic life support knowledge through classroom instruction, practical laboratory exercises, field time with an EMS agency, and hospital clinical experience.
Topics include criminal, civil, and vehicle laws on the EMT’s services, human anatomy and physiology, assessment and treatment of injuries, poisonings, trauma, childbirth, and other medical emergencies such as heart disorders, strokes, and diabetes.
Upon successful completion, students will be eligible to take the North Carolina State or National Registry EMT certification exam. After completing the EMT course, students are eligible to continue on to the Advanced EMT and Paramedic courses.
