About This Program

This 7 credit hour, semester long program provides lecture, skills and clinical training adhering to the EMT-Basic National Standard Curriculum. The course focus is on pre-hospital emergency care knowledge, critical thinking, and the technical skills necessary to function as a team member and provide emergency medical and trauma care to the ill and injured. Eligibility to apply for the state practical exams and the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technician (NREMT) written test is based on program completion. Successful students will become certified NREMT EMT-B and licensed in the state of Arkansas.

COVID-19 Vaccinations

ASUMH does not mandate that students who are enrolled in Health Science programs receive a COVID-19 vaccine series (and any recommended boosters), but they are strongly encouraged to do so. However, the clinical facilities that partner with ASUMH establish their own worksite policies, and they may require that faculty members and students be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 in order to work in the facility or be assigned to specific areas. Therefore, students electing not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine series or boosters may not be able to complete program requirements, which will result in non-progression through the program. Clinical facilities may also request information regarding COVID vaccination status for any student and faculty assigned to the site. Students who have received the COVID-19 vaccine should submit a copy for their file.
