Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)I. Executive SummaryProgram Description:The EMT program at Citrus is a rigorous and uncompromising program of study. The program isapproved by the National Registry of EMT’S (NREMT) and Los Angeles County Department ofHealth Services (DHS). The program is taught by the Program Director, and a number of highlyqualified paramedic and EMT field providers with many years of experience and advanced degrees.Strengths/Effective Practices:The EMT program reputation and the ability to place students in EMS careers upon graduation areknown throughout the greater Los Angeles basin. We have and need to continue to maintain closeprofessional relationships with our clinical partners. The program is pleased to be the approvedtraining center for Los Angeles based federal agents (FBI). The EMT program was Peace OfficeStandard and Training (POST) accredited to deliver tactical medicine training in 2010, one of only twoin the state of California. The program has strong clinical partnerships with local area hospitals and911 provider ambulance services. The program is diverse in student body.Weaknesses/Lessons Learned:The EMT program continues to turn away students do to budget constraints (until the budgetimproves). Additionally, it would be nice to add a paramedic school to provide next level of licensurefor EMS personnel. Additionally, it would be added value to EMT students wishing to work solely inhospitals to add a phlebotomy program to our health science course offerings.Recommendations/Next Steps:Continue to pursue an accredited paramedic program jointly with Rio-Hondo College orindependently. Additionally, research the possibility of offering a certified phlebotomy program.2011 Annual Program Review and Plan - EMTPage 2

This avoidssituations where items are considered for purchase but it is determined that the actual cost greatlyexceeds the original estimate. Identify unit cost (cost per item) and the number of units desired in requests. Indicate if there is a lower level of financial support that would be workable in your educational plan – ifyou request 30,000 for a classroom set of equipment (one item for each student), if 15,000 wereavailable, would it be possible for two students to share an item? Is the request “All or nothing”?Determining Budget Impact:Indicate one or more of the following areas that your request will affect:M Mission: Does the request assist the program in meeting the District’s mission and established core competencies and / or diversity?N Need: Does the request assist the program in addressing needs based on labor market data, enrollment, articulation, advisorycommittee, regional agreements, etc.?Q Quality: Does the request assist the program in continuing or establishing appropriate lecture/lab unit values? Will the request assistin the regular reviewed / updated of course outlines? Is faculty development adequate? Does program need support in addressing the Stateand District emphasis on critical thinking, problem solving and written expression? Does program need support to meet stated objectives inthe form of SLOs? Do course pre-requisites and co-requisites need to be validated?F Feasibility: Does the request assist the program maintain adequate facilities, equipment, and library resources? Is there a need forrepair or modification of facilities? Is there a need for new equipment or supplies? Are course offerings frequent enough for students tomake adequate progress in both day and evening programs? Does the program have adequate communication with & support fromCounseling?C Compliance: Does the request assist the program in meeting Federal, State & District requirements?

Describe the rationale for use of data regardingadditional geographic areas.Employment continues to be strong for EMT’s. Recruiters come on campus and visit both day andevening classes for recruitment opportunities.
