Registration is still open for the Online EMT Course through OSF Saint James – John W. Albrecht Medical Center.

Pam Meiner, public relations coordinator for the hospital, explains how this course works.

“What makes this court different from traditional EMT courses is that students will have the flexibility of doing most of the coursework online. They’ll still have to meet weekly assignment milestones, but the time of day or night that they wish to do their online study will be flexible for them. They’ll only have to travel physically to OSF Saint James eight times during that course for Skills Validation and testing, which can only be done in person,” Meiner said.

Classes begin February 13 and run through July 8. To register, email [email protected].
