Emergency Medical Technician Program-EMT is the first step for any student interested in a career in the healthcare industry.  According to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment of EMTs and paramedics is projected to grow 11 percent from 2022 to 2030, faster than the average for all occupations, due to an increase in health emergencies as the population of middle-aged and elderly people grows. Those with EMT certification can work as a paramedic, firefighters, emergency department technicians, home health care providers, dispatching communications specialists, or health screeners.

This training is divided into 2 parts, and it will cover the following topics:

CPR—This course aims to identify life-threatening emergencies and how to provide prompt care. The course covers adult, child, and infant CPR with AED certification. Participants will practice techniques on the floor, so comfortable clothing is recommended.

Stop the Bleed—Bleeding injuries can occur at any location. Rather than being a bystander, you can take action by becoming an immediate responder. This course will teach you how to identify life-threatening bleeding and respond promptly and effectively to control it.
