COURSE DESCRIPTION:

|The Basic Emergency Medical Technician course is a Michigan Department of Community Health approved course. This program provides the |

|information and experience necessary to prepare the student to sit for the National Registry Basic EMT Certification exam. Topics include: |

|legal responsibilities, anatomy, physiology, patient assessment, management of various emergency situations, extrication, and current |

|standards for EMTs in the field. Students will also participate in scenario-based education and computer-based testing and scenarios to |

|reinforce skills learned within these areas. Students must complete a minimum of four twelve-hour experiences in the hospital emergency room |

|setting and with a pre-hospital life support agency. Laboratory and clinical experiences are included. |
