EMTs are the link from the scene to the emergency health care system and function as part of a comprehensive Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response, under medical oversight. An EMT possesses the knowledge and skills necessary to provide competent and compassionate patient care and transportation.\u003Cbr>EMTs perform interventions with the basic equipment typically found in an ambulance. EMTs are trained in patient assessment, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, management of medical and trauma patients, medication administration, as well as safe and effective EMS operations. EMTs primarily work on ambulances providing emergent and non-emergent patient care at private, municipal, or fire service-based EMS agencies. They may also work in Emergency Departments, in industrial settings, as well as in education, sports teams, and volunteer groups.\u003Cbr>The EMT Certificate prepares students for careers in Emergency Medical Services as EMTs. Upon completion of the EMT Program, graduates will be eligible to take the National Registry of EMTs (NREMT) certification exams. Those who earn NREMT EMT certification will be eligible to seek state licensure in Massachusetts and most other states. Upon completion of coursework, both parts of the NREMT exam (psychomotor and cognitive), and state EMT certification, the graduate may seek employment.\u003Cbr>The EMT Program is accredited by the Department of Public Health: Office of Emergency Medical Services.\u003Cbr>ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS\u003Cbr>• High School diploma or equivalent, or Associate Degree or higher\u003Cbr>• Placement into EN 101 and EN 101L or high school GPA of 2.7 or higher or completion of EN 101 and EN 101L with a grade of C or higher\u003Cbr>• Reading Placement test score of 246 or higher\u003Cbr>Upon acceptance into the Emergency Medical Technician program, students are expected to attend a program-specific | COURSE COURSE TITLE CREDITS EM 101 Principles of Prehospital Care 6 EM 105 EMT Clinical and Field Practice 2 credits: 8 Total Credits: 8\u003Cbr>orientation. Students in the program are required to verify certain immunization and health records and submit documentation thereof by published deadlines, which are program-specific and determined by clinical rotation start dates. A complete list of the required immunizations can be found on Division of Health Sciences ' web pages of the MassBay website by clicking Health and Background Check Requirements. Immunization requirements are in accordance with clinical site requirements and Massachusetts state law. If the student does not meet the initial published deadline, the student will not attend the clinical rotation.\u003Cbr>The student must complete the CORI /SORI (Criminal/Sex Offender Record Information) to authorize a search of conviction and pending criminal case information under Standard Required Level 1 by DCJIS (Department of Criminal Justice Information Services) . The CORI/SORI completion process is part of the New Student Orientation. If there is a finding of criminal convictions or “open cases,” the student will be ineligible to participate in the Health Sciences Program. A National County Criminal Background check will be conducted as part of the student’s completion of the clinical requirements. More information is available on the Division of Health Sciences pages on the MassBay website.\u003Cbr>The EMT program requires applicants to attend a recent information session. Times and dates for these sessions can be located at Information Session Schedule\u003Cbr>More information is available on the Emergency Medical Technician Program pages on the MassBay website.\u003Cbr>","cbCaikTaTLriyri2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikTaTLriyri2","pdf",203880,"English","# Admission Requirements\n## Entry prerequisites and placement\n## Orientation, immunizations, and health records\n## CORI/SORI and background checks\n## Information session requirement\n# EMT Program Structure and Outcomes\n## Required courses and total credits\n## Program accreditation and certification eligibility","[{\"question\":\"What roles do EMTs perform in an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response?\",\"answer\":\"EMTs provide prompt basic emergency care and safe, expeditious transportation to medical facilities.
