You can get EMT training at EMT schools across the country. What do you do when you want top of the line training? It may seem difficult to compare one emergency medical training program from another, but if you look for a few specific factors when analyzing your EMT school of choice, you can be sure you’re getting a top notch education at a great EMT school.
What to Look For at University-based EMT SchoolsLooking at university programs in emergency medical training is the same as looking at universities in any other topic. If you want a school with as much face time with instructors as possible, look for low faculty to student ratios such as the one at Drexel University. Their associate’s and bachelor’s degrees in emergency medical services advertise a 1:10 ratio of teachers to students.
A final factor to look for in a college campus’ EMT training program is the freshman retention rate. How many freshmen come back to school for at least one more year? Drury University, a school with just under 1,600 undergraduate students, has an 84% freshman retention rate, meaning students that start at Drury are really likely to finish, and are satisfied with their experience there.
What to Look For at non University-based EMT SchoolsIf you aren’t looking for the college campus experience, you can still evaluate non campus based EMT schools to figure out which ones are worth attending. EMS schools attached to state or county medical institutions are usually best and offer the most hands on training, while stand alone EMT schools are geared more toward getting students out the door as fast as possible. Depending on what kind of EMT school experience you want, you may find the in and out approach is more your style.
As of yet, there’s no really good way to evaluate the kind of EMT training you’ll get from online EMT schools. If you must use an online program, the only way to evaluate it is to make sure it is accredited. Otherwise, stick to a university or EMT school that is campus based.
