About
Temple’s Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program is a six-credit course designed to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to provide basic life support emergency care. The EMT course is held in a traditional setting, where material is taught in a dynamic classroom environment and hands-on skills are heavily integrated. Students will utilize an assigned textbook and associated interactive supplements to complete readings, assignments, presentations and psychomotor skills. Students will complete field clinical hours with affiliated prehospital and hospital facilities. Throughout the course, and through the application of skills in the classroom and clinical setting, students will become competent in performing the minimum job competencies of an emergency medical technician providing Basic Life Support (BLS) care.
