Columbia Gorge Community College announced Monday a partnership with a worldwide leader in outdoor education and urban and wilderness medicine training, the National Center for Outdoor & Adventure Education.  It will provide the delivery of NCOAE’s groundbreaking 21-day intensive EMT training course in the Pacific Northwest.  The inaugural course delivered under the agreement—a hybrid program comprised of 10 days of virtual instructor-led training and eleven days of hands-on, practical skills training—is now concluding in Tygh Valley.  NCOAE’s 21-day intensive EMT training course satisfies eligibility requirements for several certifications and covers topics including patient assessment, body systems, medical emergencies, trauma, medication administration, automatic defibrillation environmental medicine, and toxins.  The course also meets all initial EMT education requirements for the National Registry of EMTs, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the State of Oregon’s Health Authority standards.  Registration is now open for the October 26th to November 17 session.  CGCC says there are only 4 spots left.
