B.Sc Emergency Medicine Technology (EMT / Paramedic)
B.Sc in Emergency Medicine Technology is a 3-year undergraduate paramedical programme that trains students in pre-hospital emergency care, trauma management, ambulance operations, triage, and stabilisation of critical patients. EMTs and paramedics are the first responders who bridge the gap between an emergency and the hospital.
India's emergency medical services (EMS) sector is rapidly professionalising, with GVK EMRI's 108 ambulance services, private hospital ambulance fleets, and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) all expanding. Trained emergency medicine technicians are in high demand in both urban and rural settings.
