About This Course
Each semester, the EMS Professions program at LSC-CyFair offers multiple EMT-Basic 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-Basic training consists of two courses: EMSP 1501 (classroom) and EMSP 1160 (clinical). The coursework and hands-on experience are designed to prepare students to administer care in emergency situations. The program covers anatomy and physiology, initial patient survey 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 and State certification examination conducted by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians.
