Are there any special physical requirements for EMT training?
EMT-Basic is a very rewarding profession that entails many strenuous activities. Patient moving and lifting is a very important part of the job. Students are required to move and lift a weighted manikin (approx 160 lbs) in various lab settings to simulate real-life situations. The college reasonably accommodates qualified individuals with disabilities and complies with and fully supports the Americans with Disabilities Act.
