Dear Prospective Student:
Thank you for your interest in our Emergency Medical Services programs. The field of
EMS is a rapidly growing, fast paced, and exciting profession for both the volunteer and
career provider. The Emergency Medical Services Program has two tracks: degree and
certificate. Regardless of the track that you choose, the class meets once per week and on
four Sundays during a semester. This hybrid program is 17 months long and the
curriculum follows the National Emergency Medical Services Education Standards and
prepares EMT certified individuals to be eligible for the National Registry practical and
written exams. The classes and labs will be held in the Health Professions and Athletics
Center (HPAC) at the Wye Mills campus.
The EMS certificate (519) courses may be applied to the requirements for an Associate of
Applied Science degree in Emergency Medical Services (518).
If you currently a Maryland or Nationally Registered EMT and want to apply to our EMS
Program please review the attached information and return the application and other
required information to the Chesapeake College EMS Program. If you do not have the
EMT certification, please contact me about our EMT Program.
Included in this packet is an "EMS Program Application Check List". The application
deadline is March 31st. You may also visit www.chesapeake.edu/alliedhealth/ems for
more information.
If you are not an EMS provider but are interested, please contact me. I can share
information on how to get started in this exciting field. I may be reached by calling (410)
