Section 581-049-0000 - Purpose

(1) The purposes of the rules in this Division are to set the minimum standards with which Emergency Medical Technology (EMT) programs must comply prior to approval of courses by Emergency Medical Services Section of the Oregon Health Division (OHD-EMS) and to set forth the process of accreditation for determining if the offering institution is meeting these standards.

(2) EMT education and training programs are offered by teaching institutions pursuant to OAR 333-265-0000 through 333-265-0020 effective July 1, 1994, including community colleges, licensed private vocational schools, and institutions of higher education. If OHD-EMS determines that training is not available in a rural area through a teaching institution, hospitals licensed by the Health Division may be authorized to teach basic levels of EMT courses.

(3) The standards in OAR 581-049-0000-581-049-0040 effective (as of date rules are adopted) apply to EMT basic, intermediate, and paramedic levels of education and training offered by or through Oregon community colleges and licensed private vocational schools.
