This course prepares students to provide entry-level emergency medical care in prehospital settings as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). Students will learn to assess patients, manage medical and traumatic emergencies, perform lifesaving interventions, and safely transport patients under medical direction. The curriculum integrates didactic instruction, hands-on skills training, scenario-based simulations, and supervised clinical experiences. Emphasis is placed on patient assessment, airway and breathing management, bleeding control, medical and trauma emergencies, special populations, and EMS operations. Legal, ethical, and professional responsibilities of the EMT are reinforced throughout the course. Upon successful completion, students will demonstrate competence in cognitive knowledge, psychomotor skills, and professional behavior consistent with national EMT standards and will be eligible to sit for the applicable EMT certification examination, subject to state and national requirements.
