Accelerated EMT Program (Winter 2023)

Interested in becoming an Emergency Medical Technician?

The GW Medical Faculty Associates Department of Emergency Medicine is excited to announce an Accelerated EMT Program for Winter 2023. This program is an accelerated 13-week program for those interested in entering the exciting world of EMS.  The class is also perfect for people interested in a career in healthcare, working for a fire department, EMS agency or hospital. 

The class schedule is designed to meet the demands of a working professional or student, with class hours in the evenings and occasional weekend labs. 

Taught by practicing GWDEMTC clinicians and educators, students will complete the didactic and practical portions of the National Registry Emergency Medical Technician (NREMT) program with both lectures and hands-on simulations. Students will have the opportunity to apply what they've learned through rotations within affiliated emergency service institutions. 

After successfully completing the course, you will be eligible to sit for the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) certification examination. For more information on requirements for the National Registry, please go to: NREMT EMT.
