Overview
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is an exciting and challenging career with unlimited opportunities for growth and advancement in the health care industry. Here at IECC, a career in the EMS field is possible through the completion of one (or more) of our three certificate programs.
-
Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) students gain knowledge of Basic Life Support skills, enabling them to render emergency care to victims of sudden illness or injury and to prevent such situations from becoming life-threatening.
-
Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) students gain the knowledge and skills necessary to respond to emergency calls to provide efficient and immediate care to the critically ill and injured and to transport the patient to a medical facility. Completing EMT basic training is a first step toward becoming a paramedic and is also a great way for students to decide whether this or another health care profession is a career they would like to pursue.
-
Paramedic students will gain hands-on experience in delivering advanced pre-hospital care, including patient assessment, trauma management, stabilization, and critical decision-making during life-threatening situations.
