Bachelor of Emergency Medical Technology
GITAM (Deemed to be University) offers a three-year, full-time Bachelor of Science in Emergency Medical Technology. The programme focuses on training students to provide Basic Life Support (BLS) to patients in critical situations, ensuring their safety during transport to a medical facility. Students are trained to prioritise patient safety, uphold legal responsibilities, and respond swiftly to medical emergencies. The curriculum covers essential interventions within the scope of emergency medical practice, preparing students to manage life-threatening conditions effectively.
Graduates of this programme will be equipped to work as emergency medical technicians, capable of performing basic pre-hospital care and handling various medical trauma situations. With comprehensive knowledge of the necessary tools and supplies, they will be ready to perform critical interventions in emergency settings, ensuring patient well-being and safety before further medical treatment is provided.
Eligibility
A minimum of 60% aggregate marks in the Intermediate or 12th examination from a recognised central/state board or its equivalent with Biology, Physics, Chemistry and English subjects. Additionally, candidates must have qualified in the AP EAPCET, NEET, or TS EAMCET.
Scope of the Programme
Emergency medicine is one of the fastest-growing specialities in India, driven by the increasing number of hospitals and the expansion of emergency services. This has created a rising demand for trained professionals to assist doctors in managing acute crises and trauma patients. Graduates of the Bachelor’s degree in Emergency Medicine Technology often serve as front-line professionals in hospital emergency rooms and casualty departments, playing a critical role in patient care.
In addition to supporting doctors in managing medical and surgical emergencies, trained emergency medical staff are essential for initial patient evaluation and triage. They assess the patient's condition upon arrival and determine the priority of treatment, ensuring timely and effective care in high-pressure situations.
