PROPOSAL OVERVIEW The new pathway for the EMT one-year certificate is designed for student who either intend to move onto the Paramedic degree or for the many that do not wish to progress to the Paramedic level. This new pathway for students is designed for student seeking entry-level jobs as EMTs. Since the EMTs need more than just an EMT license to legally operate an ambulance, this career pathway will provide those completers with all of the training required of EMT for potential employment. Where there was once limited jobs in our region for EMTs has grown immensely. Now all of the municipal paid fire departments are offering EMT positions as well as the Wildland community for the Forest Service, BLM, ODF and BIA.

STUDENT IMPACT This will have a positive impact for the students. It will give those students who do not wish to go on for paramedic critical job requirements and licensure for EMT and as well prepare those students who do wish to go on for the paramedic. ANTICIPATED IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE We would like to implement this program for the start of Fall 2019. Revised AA Presentation Checklist-writable Updated 5/10/2018 Page 3 of 3
