Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)

The EMT Program is delivered in a blended format, offering flexibility while maintaining strong hands-on skill development and competency verification. Students complete the didactic content through structured online learning with instructor guidance and scheduled checkpoints. They then transition into in-person skills laboratories to learn and demonstrate psychomotor skills, clinical decision-making, and team-based scenario performance. The program concludes with supervised field and/or clinical experiences, allowing students to apply their skills in real patient-care environments with approved EMS agencies and clinical partners.
