Getting Started as a Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician, EMT

As a Wilderness EMT student, you must hold and provide proof of a current EMT-B or higher certification or RN licence to enroll in the Wilderness Upgrade course. You must demonstrate college-level proficiency in reading, writing, and mathematics before entering this program. Your skills in these areas may affect the sequence of courses in which you can enroll and may also extend the time required to complete this program.

This Emergency Medical Technician program has certain physical and academic standards which you will be required to meet before you are admitted to the EMT program. Students accepted into the college's vocational programs must be physically, mentally, and emotionally self-supportive with reasonable accommodations. If there is a concern about meeting the physical and academic standard, students need to contact the Special Populations Coordinator who will determine the student's ability to participate in this program.
