    BSc Programs in EMT

    What is an EMT?
    EMT stands for emergency medical technician. An EMT is a trained professional who provides emergency medical care to patients in need. EMTs provide basic life support, which includes CPR, and the use of an AED (automated external defibrillator). They are also trained to assess a patient's condition and provide treatment for injuries and illnesses. EMTs are often the first responders on the scene of an emergency, and play a vital role in the care of patients.

    How can I become an EMT?
    Those who wish to become an EMT can find programs at many community colleges and technical schools. EMT degrees are available at both the associate and bachelor's level. An EMT associate degree program will typically take two years to complete, while a bachelor's degree program will take four years. EMTs must complete an accredited training program in order to be eligible for certification.

    What will I study during my EMT degree?
    EMT training programs cover a variety of topics, including anatomy, physiology, emergency medical procedures, and pharmacology. Students in EMT programs will also learn about patient assessment, vital signs, and how to effectively communicate with patients and their families.

    Academic institutions around the world offer a BSc or Bachelor of Science. This popular undergraduate degree is helpful in preparing students for the workplace or for advanced degree programs. The average BSc takes three to five years to complete.
