Paramedic Training Program
The University of Toledo Medical Center Division of EMS Education
Thank you for your interest in EMS Education at The University of Toledo Medical Center. Training for a career in Emergency Medical Services is conducted by the staff of UT's Division of EMS Education (ODPS Accreditation # 322). The Division is within the College of Health Sciences' Department of Public Health.
All of the courses offered (except for the First Responder) combine classroom lectures, skills, and clinical experience. All classes are approved for college credit. Courses are held for certification at the following levels:
First Responder 
Predominately designed for industry, Fire Services, or individuals who have an interest in basic fundamentals of emergency care during the first few minutes until an ambulance arrives.
Emergency Medical Technician – Basic (EMT – B)
Currently, this is the minimal level of training required for someone who wishes to work in the EMS setting. This course focuses on the basic essentials of emergency care and ambulance operations.
Emergency Medical Technician – Paramedic (EMT – P)
This is the highest level of certification in the pre-hospital setting. The curriculum focuses on greater depth and detail in assessment and management of various emergencies. Applicants must have Ohio EMT-Basic or Intermediate certification prior to acceptance into this level of training. This class is held at our UT location as well as an off-site location at Vanguard-Sentinel Career Center in Fremont.
