EMT Training Course

There is a shortage of emergency medical service providers in West Virginia and across the nation. To help combat this issue, West Virginia University Extension will offer a free emergency medical technician course.

This EMT training course is taught by Doug McDonald, emergency care program coordinator at WVU Safety and Health Extension. This program is a partnership between Monongalia County Technical Education Center and WVU Extension.

Because of the ongoing shortage of emergency care providers, Governor Jim Justice allocated funds from the CARES Act to cover training costs for interested people in the state.

The training begins at the basics and gets more advanced throughout the program, so no former experience or education is required. Topics covered include patient assessments, medical trauma, and care guidelines for newborns all the way to geriatrics.
