Students receive instruction on emergency medical services, including trauma, medical assessment and resuscitation.
 
EMTs provide emergency medical care outside the hospital for people of all ages. They also transport patients with life-threatening emergencies and those in need of non-emergency care or routine medical transportation.
 
"Our community depends on highly trained front-line healthcare professionals to save lives every day," said Randy Christophel, Goshen Health President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are honored to help students pursue their dreams of a rewarding career in emergency medical care."
 
More than 95 percent of students graduate from the Goshen Health EMT education program and are eligible to take the National Registry exam.
 
Goshen Hospital has provided training in advanced emergency medical care for more than three decades. The EMT training program is approved by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians and meets state-specific guidelines.
