EMT-B
Training:
Boston University is proud
to offer Emergency Medical Technician Training. This 140-hour
intensive course that prepares students to take the written
and practical EMT exams issued by Massachusetts . Students
learn all aspects of pre-hospital emergency care for injuries
and illnesses, and practice patient assessments and emergency
procedures. Emergency room and ambulance observations are
optional components of the course. There are no course prerequisites,
but students must attend all class sessions and pass written
and practical exams.
The
EMT-B course is available each semester for university credit
or as a non-credit class. It is also available in the summer.
Group Trainings:
Student groups and departments at Boston University and beyond
can arrange their own classes on dates and times of their
choosing. In many cases, these classes can be held right in
a department's office building. New state-of-the-art classrooms
in the Fitness and Recreation Center have allowed us to expand
our offerings considerably to include even more introductory
and continuing education classes, including Intermediate and
Advanced First Aid, Pediatric CPR and First Aid, and Basic
Trauma Life Support. New Emergency Response courses will even
offer instructor certification in all levels of CPR and First
Aid.
