Successful completion of this course and, by extension, the Massachusetts written and practical examination, ensures EMT-Basic certification through the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Office of Emergency Medical Services.
Areas of instruction covered through lectures and hands-on practice include: legal issues; general pharmacology; respiratory and cardiovascular emergencies; OB/GYN emergencies; musculoskeletal, head, and spine trauma; soft tissue injuries; hazardous materials; ambulance operations; emergency medical techniques for children; and scene safety.
Evaluation is based on class participation and performance on class exams, quizzes, and practical exercises.
