Have you dreamed of becoming an emergency medical technician (EMT)? Here's your chance! Lehigh Valley Health Network’s George E. Morekirk Emergency Medicine Institute's EMT program is beginning a new session from January, 31, 2023 to June 8, 2023.
Registration deadline is January 20, 2023. Make sure you sign up before then at LVHN.org/EMS. Click "View upcoming classes" and select “EMT Training Courses,” then “Enroll.”
“The EMT training covers a lot of ground,” says program coordinatory Douglas Gernerd. “First responders do a wide variety of things when responding to a call, from conducting patient assessments and taking vital signs to administering certain medications and doing certain procedures. They respond to medical calls for things such as heart attacks, stroke and diabetes, and trauma calls for things such as falls and motor vehicle accidents.”
Tuition is $1,600. Tuition reimbursement is available for residents of Carbon, Schuylkill and Monroe counties for this class through the Eastern PA EMS Council. To take advantage of reimbursement, participants from those counties should contact the EMS Council at 610-820-9212.
Note: The Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program is for individuals who are likely to respond to pre-hospital emergencies. Upon successful completion, the student will be Pennsylvania DOH certified. Minimum age is 16. Students age 18 or older will be eligible to test for the National Registry EMT credential (additional fee). Participants will be required to secure a physician release and proof of health insurance (additional information available after registration). In addition, internet and computer access for online testing is required.
