Center for Emergency Programs

The Center for Emergency Programs is part of the University of Utah Department of Health Promotion and Education and trains over 1200 people per year.

We provide training in pre-hospital emergency medical care, disaster paramedic, and wilderness medicine. Classes range from basic CPR through EMT and can be taken for University credit, non-credit or certification. Disaster preparedness classes include personal, community and corporate preparedness.

Classes are offered every semester following the academic calendar as well as in short formats. All classes can be offered by contract at your facility and according to your schedule.
