Overview
The EMT Training course will help prepare those interested in an emergency medical services (EMS) career with an extremely hands-on, entry-level class.
Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) provide out of hospital emergency medical care and transportation for critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical services (EMS) system. EMTs have the basic knowledge and skills necessary to stabilize and safely transport patients ranging from non-emergency and routine medical transports to life threatening emergencies. Emergency medical technicians function as part of a comprehensive EMS response system, under medical oversight. Emergency medical technicians perform interventions with the basic equipment typically found on an ambulance. Emergency medical technicians are a critical link between the scene of an emergency and the healthcare system.
Students will be able to take part in the high-fidelity simulation lab as part of their learning process. Franciscan Education Center Lafayette is the only educational center that offers an EMS simulation lab in the area. Students will also get to perform clinicals in the Emergency Room and ambulance.
