Emergency Medical Technician-Basic

These courses are designed solely for individuals who desire credentials as Emergency Medical Technicians. Individuals seeking admission should contact the Division of Business and Healthcare.

Students will be required to meet all health and safety guidelines of affiliating agencies, including a urine or blood drug screen.  Students are required to purchase malpractice insurance through the college at the time of registration for the EMSB classes. Students will be required to undergo a criminal background check prior to clinicals.  If as a result of a required criminal background check, a student is prohibited from a clinical affiliate agency, the student may be dismissed from  the program.  A CPR card is required to participate in clinicals.

Each course requires a “C” (3.0) grade average. Upon completing all seven courses with a grade no lower than a “C” in any course, the student will be eligible to take the National Registry exam at the EMT level which leads to National Registry certification as an Emergency Medical Technician-Basic and licensure in Tennessee as an Emergency Medical Technician-Basic.
