    Description
    The EMT course includes California mandated curriculum. Classroom and learning laboratory experiences include the function and structure of human systems and basic life support skills. Students are required to complete twenty-four (24) hours of supervised clinical experience, which includes a minimum of ten (10) patient contacts during which the student's performance is evaluated based on quality of patient assessment BLS skills. Each student will be required to undergo a background check, drug screen, physical, and provide appropriate vaccinations (at students expense) in order to complete the clinical phase of the course. To qualify for the National Registry Exam (additional fee), students must pass with a 75%, hold a current BLS card, and be 18 years of age.
