The Emergency Medical Technology Program (Ohio Department of Public Safety Accreditation #01-02-004) is designed to provide graduates with advanced training in sophisticated emergency medical treatments such as recognition of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, administration of appropriate drug therapy and performance of advanced emergency care techniques. Students receive specialized instruction in the management of trauma patients and the pediatric patient. In addition, courses are offered that include the management of the multiple casualties incidents and current issues in EMS.
The Emergency Medical Technology degree program is designed to offer additional study for those students who have completed an accredited Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic program.
Selective Admissions Requirements
Although admission to the college is open, acceptance into the Emergency Medical Technology Program is limited due to the number of students who can be accommodated by the faculty and clinical facilities. Once admitted to the University, each student must file a separate application for the Emergency Medical Technology Program with the College Selective Admissions Committee. A written statement regarding selective admission criteria is available upon request.
The student will be notified in writing of acceptance into the program.
