An EMT certification is the entry-level for licensed EMS providers and the first step toward a career in Emergency Medical Services. This course stresses a greater depth of knowledge about the anatomy and physiology of the body and how sickness and injury affect people. Most importantly the increased care and treatments available to stabilize people in emergent situations. The format of this course stresses the application of skill through scenarios, minimizing time spent in lectures. It prepares the EMT to offer a higher level of emergency care at the scene and to work as a full team member on the ambulance.
This NH-approved course is taught under the new National Education Standards for EMS and replaces, and supersedes, the old EMT-Basic (which disappears nationally in 2017), EMT is both the entry-level licensed volunteer EMS provider and the first step to an EMS career. This course stresses a greater depth of knowledge about the anatomy and physiology of the body and how sickness and injury affect people, and most importantly the increased care/treatments available to stabilize people in emergent situations.
