Program Synopsis – EMT
A. Course Objective:
Description: Coconino Community College Emergency Medical Services is designed to prepare students for certification as an Emergency Medical Technician and ultimately Paramedic. This program gives a basic understanding of human anatomy and physiology, trauma, communicable diseases, and the impacts of decision making in emergency situations.
Students completing EMS 131—Emergency Medical Technician— are most frequently interested in becoming a firefighter, paramedic, Emergency room technician, or work with other related emergency services providers. Others utilize the program as a foundation for pursuing careers in other areas of healthcare such as nursing, physician assistant, and medicine.
Competencies to be achieved:
The EMS training program creates a foundation for providers of pre-hospital medical care through rigorous training and testing of knowledge and skills associated with treating a variety of ailments and injuries.
The program includes both basic and advanced techniques of emergency care, stabilization, and immobilization of ill and injured patients. Recognition and documentation of signs and symptoms of illness and injury, intervention, and evaluation of the interventions are other areas of the program. Students begin with the Basic Emergency Medical Technology program and can continue on to the Advanced Emergency Medical Technology (paramedic) program
