How can I become an EMT?
Unfortunately, Lafayette College does not offer an EMT class. However, Northampton Community College offers the class during the fall and spring semesters as well as the summer. The full course description can be found here. Other community colleges and universities closer to home might also offer the class during the summer semester. Moravian University also offers an EMT course through LVAIC that counts for Lafayette College credit. For more information, contact lafems@lafayette.edu.
How can I obtain reciprocity?
If you have an EMT-B certification in a state outside of Pennsylvania, you must obtain reciprocity. Instructions on applying for reciprocity can be found here.
