About College Certificate - Primary Care Paramedic (formerly Emergency Medical Technician)
The Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program provides education and training for pre-hospital care professionals and prepares them to work within a multi-discipline healthcare team. This program is taught by experienced practitioners and covers all aspects of pre-hospital emergency care including Advanced Life Support (ALS) assistance, patient assessment, diagnostics, treatment and critical interventions.
The Emergency Medical Technician program is a competency-based, blended-delivery program which includes face-to-face and on-line learning components. Students must be motivated and organized as this program is fast-paced and requires a significant contribution of time to be successful.
Students will be required to:
- Attend an orientation session.
- Complete all work as assigned.
- Attend mandatory class days for theory and psychomotor skill acquisition practice.
- Attend full-time, one clinical (hospital and/or urgent care based) practicum and one ambulance-specific practicum to apply the theory and skills learned under the direct supervision of a preceptor.
