NVC Offers 急救医疗技术员 Training

Courses Start in Spring 2024 in Partnership with 圣安东尼奥学院

SAN ANTONIO - 西北维斯塔学院 (NVC) will offer 急救医疗技术员 (EMT) training starting in January 2024. The training is made possible through a partnership with 圣安东尼奥学院 (SAC) where the 急救医疗技术员 program is housed and accredited at the associate degree and certificate levels.

“Many medical employers in our service area in Westover Hills need trained EMT professionals,” said 西北维斯塔学院 President Dr. 艾米·博斯. “Our goal through this partnership with 圣安东尼奥学院 is to respond promptly to the workforce needs of our local employers.”

The two sister colleges within the 十大网赌正规网址官网区 joined resources to benefit students and the community. The training at 西北维斯塔学院 will be at the certificate level. Those who complete the training can become 急救医疗技术员s in only one semester. This allows entry into the medical field, 学生在哪里获得经验, 建立他们的简历, and make professional connections. Students also have the opportunity to build upon the credential and continue on a seamless pathway to an associate degree at 圣安东尼奥学院.

“The EMT program at 圣安东尼奥学院 has been in existence for 23 years, and provides the local community with quality EMT professionals,” said 圣安东尼奥学院 President Dr. Naydeen González-De Jesús. “We are thrilled to expand the program to other sectors of our county.”

通过这种伙伴关系, students who live and work near 西北维斯塔学院 can complete the entire certificate program at the 西北维斯塔学院 location. Those students who prefer the 圣安东尼奥学院 location will still be able to attend that campus.
