DALLAS – Richland College is launching a new Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program, expanding the college’s health profession programs.

The first EMT session begins April 14, and each session will last three months. The

sessions will be offered twice per semester.

Students who complete the EMT program may immediately start their career, or they may use it as a pathway to earning their state EMT certificate that will allow them to use their certification anywhere in the United States, pursue a paramedic certificate or even earning a firefighter diploma.

“EMTs are the first responders in any emergency,” said Lisa Smithart, Richland College’s medical programs coordinator. “They see interesting situations and assist firefighters, paramedics and even physicians when needed.”

Interested students must be 18 years of age and be current with their immunizations, valid CPR card and health insurance. Students must also possess a high school diploma or GED and be eligible to work in the U.S.
