You’ll be first on the scene to provide life-saving assistance with ASU Mid-South’s EMT program. Learn the skills necessary to deal with traumatic injuries and accident scenes and how to safely transport victims to hospitals or medical centers.
THE PROGRAM
The EMT program at ASU Mid-South focuses on basic life support skills. Life support skills include airway maintenance, respiratory support, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, fracture immobilization, as well as patient assessment. Students also learn the safe operations of medical services equipment. Learning is based on the new National Emergency Medical Services Education Standards. The program uses a best practices approach in teaching emergency care for patients.
Upon successful completion of this semester-long program, students will receive a Certificate of Proficiency and will sit for the Emergency Medical Technician National Registry Exam. After passing the exam, students become eligible for an Arkansas Basic Emergency Medical Technician certification. This certification qualifies them for a variety of job opportunities with ambulance services, fire departments, law enforcement, hospitals, clinics, and industries.
