Course Code:
51400
Description:
The Emergency Medical Technician Training Program is designed to
meet the requirements of Title 22 of the California Code of
Regulations and the National Standard Curriculum for
certification as an EMT. The staff of the EMT program is
comprised of professional EMTs, paramedics, firefighters and
nurses with years of field-related experience that are still
working in their respective fields. Students who
successfully complete the course will be prepared to render
basic life support to patients in emergency conditions in the
pre-hospital and emergency room environment.
This basic
course includes the theory and practice of patient assessment,
advanced first aid, airway management, medication
administration, emergency childbirth and cardiopulmonary
resuscitation with the use of limited equipment as it applies to
the ill or injured at the scene and during transport to a
general acute care hospital.
As part of instruction, this course
reinforces skills in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and
mathematics and requires their application in workplace
situations. Integrated throughout the course are career
preparation standards, which include communication, ethics,
interpersonal/team skills, critical thinking and problem
solving, safety, technology, and other employment skills.
Students are given opportunities to demonstrate personal
qualities, including responsibility, self-confidence, and
self-management.
