We are excited to announce that we will be offering an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program for the upcoming 2026–27 school year. FCCTC received more than $79,000 through the Kentucky Rural Health Transformation Grant to start the program with modern training technology and patient simulation tools, giving high school students a direct pathway into emergency medical services and healthcare careers.
Following the National EMS Education Standards and Kentucky Board of EMS requirements, the curriculum offers a comprehensive blend of classroom instruction, hands-on skills laboratories, patient simulation, clinical experiences, and ambulance field internships. Students will develop knowledge and skills in patient assessment, airway management, trauma care, medical and cardiac emergencies, EMS operations, communication, teamwork, and critical thinking.
“This program is about much more than earning a certification; it’s about creating opportunities for students while strengthening the future EMS workforce in our region,” said Captain Kenneth Barnett, Program Instructor. “Thanks to the Kentucky Rural Health Transformation Grant, our students will train with modern equipment and gain real-world experience that prepares them to serve their communities with confidence. We’re excited to bring this program to Franklin County and help develop the next generation of emergency medical professionals.”
Students who complete the course will earn their CPR/BLS certification and finish a Kentucky-approved EMT education program. Upon meeting all requirements, graduates will be eligible to take the National Registry EMT (NREMT) examination, the official certification needed to become a licensed EMT.
