The NYU Langone Health Emergency Medical Technician Program is an EMT-Basic program that prepares qualified students to become emergency medical technicians. EMTs are first responders and provide emergent basic life support care and treatment in the prehospital setting.

Upon successful completion of the program, students are eligible to take the New York State Department of Health Exam for EMT–Basic Certification. EMTs can seek employment with private ambulance inter-facility companies, hospital-based 911 ambulance services, and municipality-based 911 ambulance services. EMT certification is a step in the pathway to Paramedic Certification as well as other medical careers.
