Registration is currently open for the Spring 2020 Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Basic program through the College of Graduate and Continuing Education at Westfield State University. Classes will be held primarily on Monday and Wednesday evenings, January 22 – May 4, from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. In addition to these scheduled evening classes, the program also includes some additional Saturday classes.

The EMT program is a blended course consisting of an online component, face to face lectures, and clinical labs. Students are provided instruction, on theoretical knowledge and skills, in symptom recognition and emergency care techniques pursuant to state and national protocols. The program utilizes real-world, live patient simulations. Students will also participate in scenario-based patient assessments, dynamic problem-based group exercises, and larger Inter-Professional Healthcare Collaborations working with other healthcare programs on campus.

Our instructors have more than 35 years of pre-hospital and teaching experience and designed the program to prepare students for the current, rapidly evolving healthcare system. The cost to register for this program is $975, which includes the required lab fee and state exam fee. For more information or to register online, visit www.westfield.ma.edu/emt.
