Opportunities in Emergency Care (OEC) program, students have access to collaborative events with other OEC programs around the state including Fall Camp and volunteering at the Twin Cities Marathon.

EMTs are clinicians, trained to respond quickly to emergency situations regarding medical issues, traumatic injuries, and accident scenes. Where students were
introduced to vocabulary and concepts in EMR, EMT certification requires students to fully understand the EMR materials and think critically through a variety of situations. Where EMR teaches individual skills, EMT uses those skills in lifelike scenarios. EMTs are often employed by ambulance services, governments, and hospitals. They are sometimes employed by fire departments and in police departments. As an OEC program, students have access to collaborative events with other OEC programs around the state including Spring Camp and volunteering at the USA Cup Youth Soccer Tournament.
