offered each fall and spring semester. Tuberculin (PPD) skin test
and criminal background check are required for clinical experience.
Graduates are eligible to take the National Registry EMTBasic
practical and written examinations for licensure in Missouri.
There are questions on the licensure application related to the
conviction of any crime (traffic violations, drug and/or alcohol,
etc.). Affirmative answers may result in the applicant being denied
licensure by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Bureau of EMS.
Course Requirements
The EMT Refresher/Bridge course (EMDS 109) is available each
semester as needed for currently licensed EMTs needing relicensure,
for currently licensed registered nurses with special work experience
who wish to bridge in the EMT field, for EMTs with an expired
license, and EMT course graduates who have not taken or have not
successfully passed the EMT licensure exams. Proof of licensure
status, EMT course completion, or National Registry status will be
required prior to enrollment. Students will be required to attend
select sections of EMDS 105. Successful completion of the course
does not guarantee that the graduate will be eligible to take the
National Registry EMT‑Basic examinations for Missouri licensure.
Course Requirements
The First Responder Rescue course (EMDS 103) provides training
in emergency care to prevent death or greater harm until
an ambulance arrives. This training is particularly useful to law
enforcement officers, fire fighters, farmers, child‑care workers and
many others. |
