  • Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Program

    This instructional program is designed to prepare students for employment as Emergency Medical Technicians SOC 29-2041, to function at the basic pre-hospital Emergency Medical Technician level and treat various medical/trauma conditions using appropriate procedures, equipment, and materials. This is the initial level of education for those entering EMS and a prerequisite for paramedic training and certification. The student must be proficient in patient assessment/evaluation, the use of suctioning devices, oral and nasal airways, oxygen equipment, sphygmomanometers and stethoscopes, splints, pneumatic anti-shock garments, patient assistance medication, paramedic assist skills, extrications, dressings and bandages, and patient carrying devices. This program also meets the Department of Health’s HIV/AIDS education requirements as specified in Section 381.0034, Florida Statutes.

    EMT Program Objectives

    • Understand, apply, and evaluate clinical information relevant to the role of an EMT. This will be accomplished by a comprehensive course of exams and skill practical competencies, culminating in preparation to pass the NREMT Examination.
    • Demonstrate technical proficiency in all medical skills necessary to fulfill the role of an entry-level EMT. A final comprehensive exam, hospital clinical rotations, and field externship evaluations will complete this evaluation.

  • General EMS Job Description

    The following is a general job description for EMS personnel. Specific requirements are determined by the employing agency:

    • Ability to communicate verbally with patients, bystanders, and EMS personnel on the scene and hospital, and command over the telephone and radio.

    • Ability to bend, stoop, crawl, or climb on uneven terrain and to lift and carry up to 125 pounds.

    • Ability to interpret written, oral, and diagnostic instructions.

    • Ability to use good judgment and remain calm when under stress.

    • Ability to function effectively surrounded by loud noises and flashing lights.

    • Ability to function efficiently throughout an entire work shift, regardless of weather
    conditions, low light, confined spaces, or other dangerous environments as required.

    • Ability to calculate weight and volume ratios under stressful conditions.

    • Ability to read and understand English language manuals, maps, street signs, and
    address numbers.

    • Ability to document, in writing, all relevant information related to a call.

  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

    The ADA has many implications for students in EMS courses. The intent of the ADA
    emphasizes that individuals are not excluded from jobs or training due to a disability, nor shall such disability influence the result of the examination process that is a prerequisite for a job. Passing the written and skills exams during an EMS course and passing the National or State Certification Exam are prerequisites for a job as an EMT or Paramedic. The law permits testing that requires the use of sensory, manual, or speaking skills, where tests are intended to measure the essential functions of the profession. For example, an applicant with dyslexia could be required to take a written exam, if the ability to read and process is an essential job function, and
    the exam measures the ability to read. Skills performance must be done within a certain time frame and utilizing certain equipment. The performance measurement for time and accuracy is an essential job function. Therefore, a person with a disability may not be denied the opportunity to take an exam, but the person may be required to take the exam within a certain time frame or to meet a certain criterion.

    • Prospective students should read and understand the Functional Job Description before entering the program.

    • Students cannot be discriminated against because of a disability in the offering of the education program.

    • There can be NO accommodation during screening tests or course testing that will
    compromise or fundamentally alter the testing of knowledge or skills that are required to function safely in the profession.

    • Skills testing requirements and specific time frames must remain the same for all
    students, with no “shortcuts” permitted or additional time allotted.

    • No unlimited time to complete a written exam.

    • No specialized or simplified exams or reading material below the ninth-grade level.

    • Exams must be taken during the scheduled time, as a member of the class.

    • All test questions must be answered as written, without explanation by the test proctor or other individual.
