The EMT Education Program is devoted to developing highly skilled and educated prehospital care providers. West Coast EMT has created a program that is recognized for excellence in EMT Education. This basic premise is focused around high academic standards, a commitment to the field of pre-hospital emergency care, and a dedication to present and future students and EMTs. The program will strive to be attentive to student needs by creating a stimulating academic environment where learning will foster future academic growth and challenge preconceived notions. With every program we expect our students to commit themselves to success by studying, participating in class discussions, approaching faculty or staff members concerning extra help or problems encountered in the program, and being prepared for class on a daily basis. In return, the student can expect that the program faculty will commit to listen to the student’s needs as a learner, develop quality educational programs, study tips, and classroom presentations, and assist each learner in becoming successful. This is an instructional program that prepares students for employment as EMT’s SOC 29-2041 (Emergency Medical Technicians & Paramedics) to function at the basic prehospital emergency medical technician level and treat various medical/trauma conditions, using appropriate equipment and materials.
