Center Campus

The EMT student will learn the role of the Emergency Medical Technician that administers Basic Life Support and takes over care from the Medical First Responders. After completing these courses the student will be able to take the Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry EMT state licensing exam. The student will also obtain the knowledge and skills to staff the sophisticated Advanced Life Support Units and assume care for the patient using appropriate medications and therapy to stabilize the victim of accidents or sudden illness prior to arrival at the hospital.

Additional expenses to be met by the student are (1) a health history and physical examination including testing for tuberculosis and immunizations for Hepatitis B, Rubella and Rubeola; (2) uniforms; (3) hospitalization insurance as neither the clinical facilities nor the college insures the student against accidents or illness; (4) clinical packs; and (5) academy costs.
