Program Description:

(Selective Admission)
Emergency Medical Technology is a rapidly expanding profession involving the provision of immediate care for the critically ill or injured at the scene of an emergency and transporting these patients to a medical facility. This selective admission, entry-level program is designed to educate students at the EMT-Basic, EMT-Intermediate and Paramedic levels. The career program leading to the Associate of Applied Science degree includes all of the specialized courses based upon the DOT 2000 curriculum required to seek licensure as a Paramedic plus college-level General Education courses. Faculty members with experience in hospital and pre-hospital health care provide instruction in classroom and clinical settings. State-of-the-art equipment and materials are dedicated solely to emergency medical services education and training.

The CCBC Essex EMT program is accredited through the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Educations Programs (CAAHEP) and the Maryland Emergency Medical Services Board.
