The Emergency Medical Services program at Sanford-Brown College-Fenton (SBC) is designed to provide students with an introduction to the methods for assessing the patient and managing traumas and medical emergencies. The program gives students the opportunity to learn how to safely transport the sick or injured to a medical facility while maintaining communication with physicians if required. Students will also be trained in their operational responsibilities at a medical incident, crime scene, or hazardous material incident. The core curriculum is structured to include a lecture component, an imaging laboratory component, and an integrated clinical component. The final externship portion of the curriculum consists of supervised full-time experiences in a clinical environment, which requires competencies, logs, and evaluations completed by the student. At the conclusion of the program, graduates who have diligently attended class and their externship, studied, and practiced their skills should have the skills to seek entry-level employment as emergency medical technicians and/or Paramedics.
Graduates of the Emergency Medical Services program at SBC are eligible for and encouraged to take the certification exams offered by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT). This credential is a nationally recognized licensure that may affect employment opportunities. Registration and certification requirements for taking and passing these examinations are not controlled by SBC but by outside agencies and are subject to change without notice. Therefore, SBC cannot guarantee that graduates will be eligible to take certification or registration exams at all or at any specific time, regardless of their eligibility status upon enrollment.
STATE LICENSURE INFORMATION
In order to practice in the state of Missouri as an emergency medical technician, graduates must apply for state licensure and pass the state examination. Graduates of the program will then be required to pass the NREMT certification examinations in order to obtain state licensure as EMTs or Paramedics in Missouri. SBC, however, does not control the state licensure or NREMT requirements in Missouri or in any other state, and cannot guarantee that graduates will be eligible to work as emergency medical technicians paramedics in Missouri or any other state, at all or at any specific time, regardless of their eligibility status upon enrollment.
