Emergency Medical Technician students learn how to care properly for sick and injured patients. Students are trained to treat victims of traumatic or medical emergencies, such as broken bones, puncture wounds, cardiac and respiratory emergencies, vehicle accidents and more. The EMT course meets the standards of the US Department of Transportation National Standard Curriculum for EMT-Basic and the Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services. Successful course completion prepares students for the Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services certification process but does not guarantee certification.
