EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES

Associate of Applied Science and Certificate

The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) programs offer courses for students interested in a career in pre-hospital emer-gency medicine as well as basic emeremer-gency medical knowledge for use in other professions. The San Juan College EMS program works to educate caring, competent, and compassionate medical professionals for service to the public. The Emergency Medical Responder (formerly First Responder) course is the most basic level of formal emergency medical training offered by the college. The course is designed for students who generally do not intend to pursue advanced train-ing in EMS; however, it is a shorter course that can provide someone that is just interested in explortrain-ing EMS as a possible career with a better insight into what the profession is about. The course is typically taken by students acting as “first re-sponders” in industrial or volunteer settings. The course is designed to meet the US DOT National Standard Curriculum for First Responder, the EMS Education Standards for Emergency Medical Responder, and the NM EMS training standards. The course is NOT a prerequisite or corequisite to any other level of EMS training at SJC.

The Emergency Medical Technician (formerly EMT-Basic) certificate program offers the entry-level course for pursuing a career in EMS. Entry-level students must complete the EMT certificate program in order to gain EMS licensure in the state of New Mexico. The course is designed to meet the US DOT National Standard Curriculum for EMT-Basic, the EMS Educa-tion Standards for Emergency Medical Technician, and the NM EMS training standards. EMT licensure/certificaEduca-tion is a prerequisite for higher level EMS programs.

The Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (formerly EMT-Intermediate) certificate program builds on the basic knowledge of the EMT with additional training and skills. These courses may be taken by students wishing to gain ad-ditional medical skills, but not necessarily wishing to pursue training as a paramedic. Field experience in EMS is strongly encouraged between EMT certification and entry into the AEMT program. AEMT is a recommended prerequisite to the paramedic program and is strongly recommended for students with limited field experience. The program is designed to meet the US DOT National Standard Curriculum for EMT-Intermediate (1985), the EMS Education Standards for Ad-vanced Emergency Medical Technician, and the NM EMS training standards.

Paramedics provide the highest level of care in the pre-hospital setting and are currently in high demand. Students interested in pursuing training at the paramedic level have the option of both a certificate program and an Associate of Applied Science degree. The AAS degree may be transferrable to four-year baccalaureate degree programs in EMS. Those students wishing to transfer to a baccalaureate granting institution are strongly encouraged to check with their advisor and carefully coordinate their coursework at San Juan College with the requirements of the transfer institu-tion. A full Associate of Science degree option is also available for those students requiring it (see Associate of Science section for additional information). This program is designed to meet the US DOT National Standard Curriculum for EMT-Paramedic, the EMS Education Standards for Paramedic, and the NM EMS training standards.

Students who complete the certificate or degree programs are eligible to sit for the applicable levels of the New Mexico state EMS licensure and/or the National Registry exams.

Additional specialty courses outside of the certificate and degree programs are also offered. Information on all EMS program courses can be found in the Course Descriptions section of the catalog, by contacting the EMS Program office, or by visiting the program website.

Note: The student must complete each course in the curriculum with a C or better to remain in and graduate from the program.
