The GERMS EMT-B Class

GERMS offers an Initial Certification Course at the EMT-Basic level once per semester, and it is open to both Georgetown undergraduate and graduate students, as well as community members.

GERMS will be offering an EMT-B class starting in early January. The course will run until mid-April, with lecture taking place on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7:15-10:15pm and practical skills sessions taking place on Saturday mornings from 8:30am to 1pm. Attendance at all lectures and practicals is mandatory. Historically, the course has averaged $700 for Georgetown-affiliated persons and $800 for community members. A combination of GERMS personnel and professionals in emergency fields, nursing, and medicine teach the course.

There will be three information sessions held during the first week of second semester. Please continue to check this website for specific dates and times.

Please be advised that admission to the EMT-B program does not guarantee admission into GERMS. Also, the Saturday portion of the class focuses entirely on physical skills, so individuals must be able to lift and move a patient with minor assistance.

Direct any questions you may have to Colin Brody, Director of Training.
