    Summary

    A new Emergency Medical Technician-Ambulance (EMT-A) course for medical students prioritizes hands-on training over lectures. This efficient curriculum achieved comparable test scores to traditional courses, potentially encouraging wider adoption.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Emergency Medical Services Training

    Background:

    • Medical schools often lack Emergency Medical Technician-Ambulance (EMT-A) certification programs.
    • Traditional EMT-A courses can be time-intensive, potentially limiting integration into preclinical medical curricula.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and evaluate an EMT-A course for freshman medical students.
    • The course aimed to maximize practical training while minimizing lecture hours.

    Main Methods:

    • A 48-hour required EMT-A course was implemented for 101 first-year medical students.
    • The course included 10 hours of lecture-demonstration and extensive practical work.

    Main Results:

    • Student test scores were comparable to those of regular EMT-A candidates.

  • Scores were also similar to medical students who completed courses with more extensive lecture series.

    • Conclusions:

    • An EMT-A course can be effectively delivered with reduced lecture hours and increased practical components.
    • Decreasing curricular hours may encourage more medical schools to implement EMT-A certification programs in preclinical years.
