Part-Time EMT Instructor
OVERVIEW
The National Center for Outdoor & Adventure Education (NCOAE) is seeking part-time instructors to supplement our team of emergency medicine educators.
Our EMT instructors from across the country include EMTs, Advanced EMTs, paramedics, search and rescue professionals, professional outdoor guides and leaders, nurses, firefighters, military operations specialists, and others with a passion for teaching the next generation of emergency medicine professionals.
Offered through both live in-person and online classes, our “Intensive” 21-day EMT-Basic course satisfies eligibility requirements for the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) and EMT credentialing requirements in all 50 states via reciprocity process.
Our “Intensive” 21-day program provides a unique and exciting teaching environment that is team focused and different from most traditional teaching institutions. Students have two options — the first option is a fully in-person 21-day program where all training and practical sessions take place at either our North Carolina or Oregon locations. For the second option, students can choose a hybrid format featuring 10 days of live virtual, instructor-led training delivered on our world-class learning management system, along with 11-days of hands-on, practical skills training at our Wilmington, N.C., or Tygh Valley, O.R., campus.
Our EMT instructors provide theory and skills instruction in compliance with approved curricula and industry standards. Along the way, instructors are expected to ensure that students have a learning experience that reflects current practices required for their career.
