EMT Course - Yeshiva University Spring 2020

This spring 2020, the Yeshiva University EMS club is organizing an emergency medical technician (EMT) program for undergraduate students. This semester we will be having two course options! 

Course 1: (Accelerated Course)

15 Sundays, from 10 am - 6 pm 

8 hours each session

Start Date: January 26th

Location: YU midtown campus located at 245 Lexington Avenue

Course 2: (Regular Course)

24 Sundays, from 1:30 pm - 6:30 pm

5 hour each session

Start Date: Either Beginning of December or January 26th.

Location: YU uptown campus located at 500 W 185th street

The cost of the course is $1,500. (If finances are an issue, there are many volunteer ambulance/fire organizations that will pay for your course in return for becoming an active member! Seek out your local agencies for more details. In addition, the NYS Department of Health can issue a ~700$ voucher through a NY volunteer ambulance/fire organization to help pay for the course!)

Minimum age is 17 by the state exam.

With previous courses run in the past, we have found the accelerated course to be in high demand. However, there are many students that either have class or other obligations on Sunday mornings which would unfortunately prevent them from enrolling in our program. Therefore, we have decided to adapt our program to meet the needs of both types of students.

There will be no classes on Jewish holidays.

Please sign up if you are interested and want more information.
