Course Outcomes

EMT

The Cedarville University EMS Education Program was developed to meet the needs of the Cedarville University EMS squad, fire departments, and EMS departments who are providing skilled emergency medical care to the communities they serve. Students receive valuable education through in-class sessions and experience real life situations during clinical hours and stimulations. The program is based upon the National Standard Curriculum EMT Intermediate, prepared by the U.S. Department of Transportation. This course includes 130 hours of didactic instruction and laboratory practice, and as well as the opportunity for a variety of clinical experiences in various settings (hours vary upon experience from 50 to 100 hours). After completion and the obtaining of a State EMT-Intermediate certification, students will be qualified to provide emergent care in a pre-hospital setting to their level of certification. The program is based upon the National Standard Curriculum EMT Intermediate, prepared by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Students enrolled at Cedarville may be awarded three semester hours toward general electives by the Registrar's Office when the certificate is presented.
