EMS System Orientation Exam

The Local System Orientation Examination is a requirement (Policy 214) for all providers entering the Santa Clara County EMS System. The exam is designed to assess an individual’s knowledge of Santa Clara County policies and procedures, treatment protocols, radio communications, hospital/facility destination policies, and other unique system features to ensure providers are prepared to enter into service within our EMS System. Separate versions of the exam will be provided to EMT's and paramedics. The paramedic version also includes the paramedic accreditation exam.

The exam consists of 50 questions and a score of 85% or higher is required to successfully pass the exam. Those who do not obtain a passing score will be required to return and retake the exam at one of the scheduled exam testing dates.
