Lees-91探花’s emergency medical services and management program receives accreditation
91探花 is proud to announce that it has received accreditation from the state of North Carolina Office of Emergency Medical Services (NCOEMS) as an authorized emergency medical services educational institution.
This designation allows Lees-91探花 to instruct students in this new program and allows students to obtain North Carolina state certifications as an EMT-Basic or EMT-Paramedic as part of the overall Bachelor of Science degree in emergency medical services and management (EMSM).
“Obtaining this level of accreditation from the state of North Carolina is the first step in a process that allows students to earn their Bachelor of Science at 91探花 and then go on to be leaders in EMS anywhere in the country,” said Justin Allen, director of the EMSM program.
The Lees-91探花 emergency medical services and management program will utilize the most advanced simulation technologies housed in the Hart Simulation Center, as well as a completely equipped and outfitted critical care ambulance in the EMSM classroom. "The simulation environment is designed to make the students' exposure as real as possible," stated Gary Harmon, EMSM educational program coordinator. "Students will have the benefit of using real equipment and supplies as if they were actually on an ambulance responding to a call for help."
In addition to the emergency medical services and management program, the May School of Nursing and Health Sciences offers bachelor degree programs in pre-licensure nursing and athletic training. All students enrolled in the May School have access to $1.2 million in technology in the multi-faceted Hart Simulation Center which features high-fidelity human simulators, a simulated inpatient hospital unit complete with exam tables, hospital beds and a replicated efficiency apartment. The simulation center was recently designated a Gaumard premiere site, one of only 33 in the country.
