Emergency medicine

When an emergency happens or lives are at stake, will you be ready? ALERT’s EMT program takes students through a focused course on pre-hospital emergency care that includes two weeks of clinical training in the emergency room and on an ambulance. In addition, practical scenarios throughout the course simulate the experience of working in the field and help prepare students for a career in emergency medicine. Even if you do not plan to work as an EMT, the knowledge and skills that you learn in this class are invaluable, and may even save a life.

Up in the morning with the rising sun,
Doing PT is a whole lot of fun.
I ate my breakfast too soon,
Boy was I hungry, ‘round noon.

Up in the morning at the break of day
Working so hard we never play
Running through the jungle where the sun don’t shine
All I do is double time

Up in the morning and out of the rack
Grab my clothes and put them on my back
Running cross the desert in the sifting sand
Drill Sergeant, look, I’ll give you a helping hand

Up in the morning with a whistle and a yell
I know that voice and I know it well
Drill Sergeant says you better hit the floor
And don’t be walking going out the door
