The Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)-Basic course teaches seniors the skills and knowledge necessary to pass the National Registry EMT Basic test. The student must pass a final examination with an 70% or better, complete all clinical rotation hours on a working ambulance, and complete all clinical rotation hours in a hospital emergency room to be eligible to sit for the National Registry EMT Basic exam. Clinical rotation hours will be held on winter break, and ambulance hours will be held during spring break and or weekends. The course is rigorous and follows a very strict schedule to meet regulations.
Students are encouraged to follow a pathway of prerequisite medical courses at their home high school prior to enrollment in this program. Prerequisites of Biology and Health Science Theory are required for automatic enrollment. Students who have not met these prerequisites will be added to the program wait list.
