EMS stands for Emergency Medical Services. An EMT is an Emergency Medical Technician.

Yes, you can. To find out the reciprocity requirements for each state, you should call the UT Bureau of EMS @ 1-801-273-6666

Once you have your EMT-Basic certification, you can take the EMT-Intermediate course right away. However we require at least 6 months to 1 year of field experience as an EMT-Basic or EMT-Intermediate before you can even apply to the Paramedic program.

The EMT-Basic course does require you to complete at least 10 clinical hours at either a local emergency room or ambulance agency. The EMT-Intermediate course will offer clinical sign-ups for students to get IV practice, but they are optional. For clinical requirements for the Paramedic program, see the Courses page.

If the Basic class is full, you can call the EMS Secretary @435-879-4951 and you will be put on a waiting list honored in a first come, first served basis.

We welcome all local & long distance EMT’s, Paramedics, Fire Fighters or anyone in the healthcare industry to sit in on our EMT or Paramedic classes for continuing medical education hours. To see what classes we offer or when you can come in, just call the EMS Secretary.
