This program is designed to prepare men and women for entry into occupations that require employees to have training and skills in Emergency care technology. Not only have physicians become more reliant on Emergency Care Technicians, but hospitals and ambulance companies are also requesting their services. Prospective students are encouraged to visit the institutions campus to receive a tour and to discuss personal educational and occupational plans with school personnel prior to enrolling or signing enrollment agreements. Theory and Laboratory are taught residentially.
