Emergency medical services are among the newest, most dynamic, and most
progressive disciplines within the field of medicine. Thirty years ago, there
were no emergency medical technicians or paramedics, and pre-hospital treatment
and transportation was provided by funeral home, police, and fire personnel with
little or no training or specialized equipment. With the dramatic advances in
knowledge, education and equipment developed since that time, Americans now
expect highly trained and skilled experts in pre-hospital emergency medicine to
respond swiftly in their time of need. It is the goal of the emergency medical
services program to provide our community with a corps of highly educated,
trained, motivated and professional EMS personnel to help fulfill that
expectation.
The EMT-Intermediate certificate prepares emergency medical technicians to practice at the
intermediate level. It provides supervised classroom, laboratory
training, clinical experiences in emergency departments, and other areas in
affiliating hospitals, and supervised field placement at emergency medical
services.
As a student in this program, you will be required to complete four on-campus
lecture and laboratory courses and approximately 200-250 hours of intensive
clinical/field placement assignments. This program is accredited by the
Massachusetts Office of Emergency Medical Services.
Upon successful completion of the didactic and clinical components of this
program, the student will be eligible to take the certification examination for
EMT-Intermediate of the Massachusetts Office of Emergency Medical Services.
