Hopeworks is excited to announce our first EMT Training cohort that launches this summer! The program is in partnership with Cooper University Healthcare and Camden County College! The 2-month training starts in July and will include 6 Hopeworks young professionals to start.
They will receive supervised clinical education in various hospital units and services, and all necessary safety equipment will be provided.
At completion of the program, young professionals will have the skills to render pre-hospital basic life support at the scene of an emergency, during transport of the sick and injured, or during inter-facility transfer within an organized emergency medical service system.
