EMC 110 – Summative Evaluations for the EMT-Basic

 

Course Description

The course serves as the exit point for students taking only the EMT-Basic program. Students continuing on to the EMT-Intermediate portion of the curriculum must pass this course in order to continue. The course will include clinical hours to be spent in both Hospital Emergency Departments and on Ambulance Clinical Rotations. This class will also contain a Comprehensive review of the US DOT EMT-Basic 1994 Curriculum, as well as portions of the NSC EMT-Intermediate 1985 Curriculum that were covered in EMS XX1 and EMS XX2, and a comprehensive written and practical exam that will serve to verify the students competencies before proceeding to the EMT-Intermediate Courses.
