Placement Assistance Known employment vacancies in the field (both local and out-of-county) are posted on the bulletin board adjacent to the classroom.

Ethics and Standards of Conduct Due to the high standards of the EMT Education Program and the EMS Profession, student conduct must reflect professionalism, integrity and responsibility at all times. The following section sets forth ethical standards, standards of conduct, and examples of misconduct subject to disciplinary action (including probation or termination from the Program). Ethical Standards Students are expected to meet the following ethical standards while in the Program: • EMTs are health care professionals regardless of whether or not they receive monetary compensation for their work. Thus, an EMT is bound by the highest standards of professional conduct and ethics. The EMT Education Program will not tolerate a breach of these standards by its students. • Students must conduct themselves in an ethical manner throughout the classroom and clinical phases of the Program. Failure to adhere to these standards may result in termination from the Program. Violation of these standards includes, but is not limited to, stealing, cheating, and breach of a patient’s confidentiality. Professional Behavior The conduct of the EMT student reflects upon the individual, his or her agency, the UCLA EMT Education Program, and the EMS Profession. Therefore, the student must conduct him/herself in a professional and responsible manner at all times, as described below. Professional Behavior/Attributes include: • Appearance. Excellent personal grooming and a neat, clean appearance help instill confidence in patients treated by EMTs. Respond to the scene in neat, clean, and complete uniform or appropriate dress. This will help to effectively portray the positive image you want to communicate. Remember, you are on a medical team. Your appearance can send the message that you are competent and can be trusted to make the right decisions. • Knowledge and skills. To practice as an EMT, you need to successfully complete the basic training we are providing. In addition, you will also need to know: • How to use and maintain common emergency equipment, such as suction machines, spinal immobilization equipment, Automatic External Defibrillators, splints, ob kits, and various tools to gain access to the patient. • How and when to assist with the administration of medications approved by medical control. • How to clean, disinfect and sterilize non-disposable equipment.
