Emergency Medical Technician Training

First of two-quarter Stanford Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Program (EMED 111B/C). Students are trained to provide basic life support and to transport sick and injured patients to the hospital. Topics include patient assessment and management of cardiac, respiratory, neurological and other medical emergencies. Includes both lecture and practical sessions. After completion of the EMED 111 sequence and meeting all class requirements, students can sit for the National Registry EMT cognitive exam and obtain state certification as an EMT. We encourage freshman and sophomores to apply. (ONLY graduate students may enroll for 3 or 4 units with instructor permission). Skills labs will be held Thursday evenings weeks 2/4/6/8/9 with one weekend towards the end of the quarter. Prerequisites: EMED 111A and application (see http://emt.stanford.edu), or consent of instructor. AHA or Red Cross healthcare provider CPR certification is also required, but can be obtained during the quarter. A one-time course fee of $70 will be assessed to cover required equipment and a uniform shirt. (Financial assistance may be available. Please contact instructor with any concerns.)
