Class Schedule

Orlando Medical Institute’s EMT program has experienced and highly qualified instructors and staff that are committed to the success of their students. Students will obtain the knowledge base and training to recognize signs and symptoms of illness and/or injury through providing emergency medical care. Students upon completion of this program will be prepared to make quick decisions based on classroom, laboratory, simulation, clinical and field experience.

OMI’s Flipped classroom has become a growing pedagogical model in education across the United States. The flipped classroom module is based on at-home learning for core content, followed by in-class application level activities to reinforce material learned at home. A flipped classroom enhances the student-teacher interaction, satisfaction, and feedback. Evidence from other disciplines report improved student learning in a flipped setting classroom.

Upon successful completion of this program, all students will be eligible to take examinations for certification as a Florida State EMT and Nationally Registered EMT. Research has shown that this model is beneficial for students in EMT and nursing models. Data from a 2016 pilot study found a marginal increase in cognitive exam scores. Studies show that students receiving the flipped classroom content will score higher on exams than the national average and also shows the flipped classroom programs will have higher National Registry for EMT (NREMT) cognitive exam pass rates than the national average.

Most EMTs work full time. Their work can be physically strenuous and stressful, sometimes involving life-or-death situations. EMTs typically complete a postsecondary educational program. All states require EMTs to be licensed; requirements vary by state.

Further training taught at OMI in emergency medical services is necessary to meet all of the requirements before a student will be issued an EMT Diploma.

Florida State EMTs are required to renew their certification every two years by December 1 on even years. EMTs can recertify by completing hours of continuing education (State has its own hours/requirements as well as the NREMT). Orlando Medical Institute offers a Florida State approve EMT refresher course thoughtout the year. 

• Wednesday, December 31, 2025 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PMOrlando Medical Institute

Orlando Medical Institute's Paramedic Program is 1,110 hours (48 weeks) of classroom activities/labs and clinical internship. You will learn how to take charge at the scene of an emergency and, if necessary, perform life-saving procedures while transporting patients to the hospital. Since paramedics may administer drug and perform certain invasive procedures on patients before they arrive at the emergency department, they are sometimes known as the “hands” of emergency doctors on the scene.

In EMS, the majority of calls will fall into either medical or trauma situations.

Medical calls usually involve illnesses like heart attacks, severe allergic reactions, labor and delivery and complications from shock. Paramedics can administer a wide variety of medications to soothe patient symptoms until they arrive at the hospital.

Trauma calls usually involve an accident or physical injury. Paramedics will respond to the scenes of car crashes, falls, bar fights and sports injuries. In the wake of recent mass shootings emergency services providers are increasingly training with police and other agencies to triage and treat multiple critical patients in dangerous scenes.

The paramedic flipped classroom module is just like our EMT flipped program, it’s based on at-home learning for core content, followed by in-class application level activities to reinforce material learned at home. as mention with the EMT program, the evidence from other disciplines report improved student learning in a flipped setting classroom. Upon successful completion of this program, all students will be eligible to take examinations for certification as a Florida State Paramedic.
