EMT Course for University Students

Attention Students!!!

This Fall (2018), the Yeshiva University EMS club is organizing an emergency medical technician (EMT) course for undergraduate students. Getting to network with passionate pre-health students from other universities in the NYC area will be a great experience, and the medical skills and clinical exposure will look great on any pre-health resume! ALSO, THE COURSE IS ONLY 15 Sundays!

The course will take place for 15 Sundays during the fall semester from 10 am till 6 pm on one of the Yeshiva University campuses, which are conveniently located in the heart of NYC. The cost of the course is $1,500, all inclusive.
(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)

With previous courses run in the past, we have found this schedule to be most ideal for university students. Understanding the difficulty of taking an EMT course while in school, we would like to open up this opportunity to other university students in the New York City area. 

You can miss up to two classes, so don't worry if you have some conflicts!

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

About the program:

The Research Associate (RA) Internship is an innovative volunteer program for enthusiastic and inspired college and post-baccalaureate students. Created by the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine, the internship grants students an opportunity to experience and observe multiple aspects of clinical research. The program consists of clinical and non-clinical research shifts based in the Emergency Department. The program offers the committed student a unique experience to furnish a wealth of knowledge about the numerous options for a career in healthcare. This school-year long or summer intensive unpaid research internship will expose participants to a diverse spectrum of clinical research investigations occurring in the Emergency Departments of Bellevue Hospital Center, NYU Langone Medical Center, and NYU Lutheran.

RA interns will develop basic research skills and become an integral part of research projects and grants occurring through the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine. They will be taught how to collect and enter data, and maintain databases. RA interns will participate in laboratory meetings and gain Principal Investigator mentorship and/or shadowing experiences. RA interns will also become oriented to the Institutional Review Board and other Human Subjects courses. This experience permits RA interns to be exposed to new and innovative research, and develop a comprehensive understanding of clinical research.

Commitment:

The RA Internship is a demanding program and requires a great deal of commitment on the part of the student. Fall-Spring RA interns can expect to work at least two, four-hour clinical shifts and one, two-hour non-clinical shift per week for a total of 10 hours per week during the length of the school year. RA interns are also expected to attend study meetings when new research studies are starting in the ED.

Shifts take place each day of the week, including weekends, in four-hour time blocks. The first shift is 8am-12pm, and the last is 8pm-12am.
