This course is instructed in compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and the California Code of Regulations, and is approved by the El Dorado County EMS Authority (Title 22). Successful students will be prepared for EMT certification through the National Registry. This course requires participation in clinical experiences taking place in emergency room departments of hospitals and in operational ambulance units.
