Students will learn how to do an initial assessment on a patient who is in need of emergency help. This will include measuring their vital signs and communicating with dispatchers, law enforcement and other health care providers. They provide life-saving interventions while awaiting additional EMS response and assist at the scene and during transport.

We also offer additional skill courses for EMRs.

• Medication administration of aspirin and epinephrine by auto injector
• Application of spinal and extremity immobilization devices
• Patient transport devices and patient transport

EMTs are the foundation of pre-hospital emergency medical care. For medical emergencies, they provide rapid response, initial evaluation and care, and transport to an appropriate medical facility. They also provide transport between facilities for people who are bedridden and/or require continuous monitoring and care.

EMT courses are held each quarter on the SCC Lincoln campus located at 8800 O St. Courses also may be held at our many SCC Learning Centers and other locations, based upon the needs of the community. These courses are all offered in daytime, evening and online formats.
