About This Course
Each academic year, the EMS Professions program at LSC-CyFair offers multiple EMT courses with variety of schedules to better meet the needs of our community. The course is designed for anyone interested in working in public safety, including fire, police and ambulance operations. At LSC-CyFair, EMT training consists of two courses: EMSP 1501 (lecture/lab) and EMSP 1160 (clinical). The EMT training and hands-on experience are designed to prepare students to administer care in emergency situations. The program covers anatomy and physiology, initial patient assessment and triage, airway management, oxygen therapy, and treatment of bleeding, shock, cardiac arrest, automated external defibrillation, fractures, spinal injuries and other medical emergencies. Upon successfully satisfying all the criteria for course completion of both EMSP 1501 and EMSP 1160, the student will be eligible to sit for the National certification examination conducted by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. After obtaining National certification, the student will be eligible to apply for State certification. State certification requirements include being at least 18 years old and obtaining a high school diploma or GED. Note: State certification is required to work in the state of Texas.
