General Philosophy & Mission<br />
The <strong>EMT</strong> Education Program is devoted to developing highly skilled and educated prehospital<br />
care providers. The <strong>UCLA</strong> <strong>Center</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Prehospital</strong> <strong>Care</strong> and the <strong>UCLA</strong> <strong>Prehospital</strong> Research<br />
Forum have combined to create a program that is recognized <strong>for</strong> excellence in <strong>EMT</strong> Education.<br />
This basic premise is focused around high academic standards, a commitment to the field of<br />
prehospital emergency care, and a dedication to present and future students and <strong>EMT</strong>s. The<br />
program will strive to be attentive to student needs by creating a stimulating academic<br />
environment where learning will foster future academic growth and challenge preconceived<br />
notions.<br />
With every program we expect our students to commit themselves to success by studying,<br />
participating in class discussions, approaching faculty or staff members concerning extra help or<br />
problems encountered in the program, and being prepared <strong>for</strong> class on a daily basis. In return,<br />
the student can expect that the program faculty will commit to listen to the student’s needs as a<br />
learner, develop quality educational programs, study tips, and classroom presentations, and assist<br />
each learner in becoming successful.<br />
