MINOT — Trinity Health Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Education is beginning a new session of their Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) class on January 4, 2023 and is accepting applications.
Applications are due by Friday, October 6, 2023, and can be obtained by contacting Trinity Health EMS Education at 701-858-6310 or emailing ems.education@trinityhealth.org. The class is $1500, and students must obtain a Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers certification as a pre-requisite.
“Teaching this course has always been one of my favorites. The students are excited to learn and it’s a great way to get started in EMS, whether you want to continue into a career in medicine or be an integral part of your community providing first-line emergency services,” said EMS Instructor Jennifer Deeter, NRP, CCP-C, FP-C. “The EMT is not ‘just an ambulance driver’. The responsibility and scope of practice have grown over the years which makes this an exciting time. Learning lifesaving interventions can help someone in their greatest time of need and can make all the difference.”
The classes are held at Trinity Health Riverside Education Center, on Mondays and Thursdays, from 6 to 10 p.m. The course is five months long and will teach students all aspects of the EMT position needed to pass the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) as well as additional skills needed to be licensed in the state of North Dakota. The EMT class is a pre-requisite for those seeking training and education in pursuit of Paramedic School.
