Build on the Emergency Medical Technician program and prepare to take the national exams with the Advanced Emergency Medical Technician program.

Beginning fall 2021, all Health and Human Services students participating in off-site clinical placements must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Moraine Park Technical College establishes our student vaccination/immunization requirements by aligning with the requirements of the most restrictive health agency utilized for clinical placements.
All students participating in clinical must provide documentation of COVID-19 vaccination prior to being allowed at an off-site clinical location. Dependent upon the agency placed, a student may be able to receive a health/religious exemption for the COVID-19 vaccination.
Failure to vaccinate may impact the ability to progress in your chosen health program.
If you have questions or need a health/religious exemption, please contact Danielle Rhoads. Approval of an MPTC Exception does not ensure that you will receive approval from your assigned clinical/internship site, as their exception standards may differ from those used by MPTC.
Please note: Off-site clinical/practicum experiences, vaccine and masking mandates, or course delivery formats may change on short notice.

The A-EMT certificate is available only for those working in the field or as an EMT Pathway Continuation. This certificate will be offered again in Spring 2023.

Make a difference and play an important role in your community with the Advanced Emergency Medical Technician program at MPTC. Students prepare to provide a higher level of pre-hospital patient care in emergency situations.
