EMERGENCY
MEDICAL TECHNICIAN-INTERMEDIATE
The eighty hour EMT-Intermediate program is the first certification
level above EMT-Basic. This program prepares the candidate to
provide more aggressive care to victims of trauma and airway compromise
as well as providing the student with more in-depth patient assessment
skills. Skills taught in this program include nasal intubation
and IV therapy.
Entrance Requirements:
-
Must maintain a South Carolina or National
Registry EMT certification throughout the course.
-
Achieve the minimum score on the Health
Occupations Basic Entrance Test (HOBET). Refresher candidates
are not required to take the HOBET exam.
In order to participate in the clinical portion
of the Intermediate Program, which is required for all initial
Intermediate candidates, the following is required:
- Each student must be covered by employer's Worker's Compensation
or have major medical health insurance that remains in effect
throughout intermediate training.
- The hospital contract requires that all individuals having
contact with patients (including students performing clinical
rotations) undergo a criminal background check with the South
Carolina State Law Enforcement Division. Each student is required
to submit a photocopy of their driver’s license to the
Council Staff for completion of the criminal background check.
If you are considering intermediate training and have an arrest
record, you must contact Paul
Lucas as soon as possible to determine whether you are
eligible for participation in the intermediate course.
- The hospital and field clinical contracts require that our
office have on file for each student participating in the
clinical process a current health statement verifying that
the student has tested negative for tuberculosis within twelve
