EMT - Paramedic Outcomes Assessment Plan The School of Technology and the Emergency Medical Training Department offer certificate programs preparing students to take the National Registry examinations as Emergency Medical Technicians or as Paramedics. This is closely integrated with area Emergency Medical Services and area Trauma Centers. Students seeking information about these programs should check with the Director of EMS programs for details about scheduling of the courses. The courses offered meet all requirements of the National Curriculum. The Department of Emergency Medical Training is an Accredited Training Entity for the Missouri Department of Health and the Missouri Bureau of Emergency Medical Services. Classroom instruction is supplemented by clinical observation and experience. The program meets through three semester periods beginning each fall semester. The clinical training is arranged through area hospitals and ALS ambulance services. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age, hold a high school diploma or equivalent, and possess a current Missouri State EMT ambulance license. A minimum of one-year experience is preferred. Out-of-state students should contact the E.M.S. Training Office no later than May to begin reciprocity application. Applications and pretest information should be obtained from the Office before the end of the spring semester. Special book and equipment fees are assessed for this course. The department has three new online courses in Emergency Medical Training. Two, EMT-Basic Refresher and Paramedic Refresher will be open for enrollment mid-semester. All EMTs and Paramedics have to have this course every two years. This will be a unique opportunity for many in our EMS community since they will not have to come to campus even for the skills training.
