Emergency Medical Science (C45340EP)

This pathway is designed to prepare individuals to work as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). EMTs are often
the first responders to any emergency, making split-second decisions that save people’s lives. Topics include preparatory,
airway, patient assessment, medical emergencies, trauma, infants and children, and operations. Upon completion,
students should be able to demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve North Carolina State or National
Registry EMT certification. Upon successful completion, a certificate will be awarded. Courses within the certificate may
be applied toward an Associate in Applied Science degree in Emergency Medical Science.
