Emergency Medical Technician
About
Our Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course is specifically designed for you to start your path as an EMT. This one-semester course is offered each fall, spring, and summer semester as an entry-level and foundational course in emergency medical sciences. Upon completion, you will be eligible to take the EMT National Registry exam.
EMTs provide assessment, care, and transport to patients in and out of the hospital setting. They function under physician medical control direction and serve our communities, working for local ambulance services, paid and volunteer fire departments, hospitals, and other health care organizations.
This path offers training for stable career opportunities throughout Mississippi and the United States.
