High School Academy

CVTC and local high schools have partnered to offer students who are at least 16 years old and interested in pursuing a career in healthcare an opportunity to earn high school and college credit. Dual credit academies give high school students a chance to navigate their interests and career options to develop the most successful individualized career path. Credits earned through this academy may be applied to CVTC programs and transfer to other colleges.

The Emergency Medical Responder course prepares EMR students to provide prehospital assessment and care for patients of all ages with a variety of medical conditions and traumatic injuries. Areas of study include an introduction to emergency medical services systems, roles and responsibilities of EMR’s, anatomy and physiology, medical  emergencies, trauma, and special considerations for working in the prehospital setting. Upon successful completion, candidates will be eligible to take the National Registry of Emergency Medical Responder exam for Wisconsin EMR Certification.
