Central Wyoming College operates two EMT programs through its Wilderness First Responder Program. The four-credit Wilderness First Responder Credential requires courses in burn management and splinting. This credential results in student certification with the Wilderness Medicine Institute. The nine-credit Wilderness EMT Credential requires four weeks of classes and simulated rescues. The Wilderness EMT Credential doubles as a certification as a Basic EMT through the state of Wyoming. The Lowell A. Morfeld Student Center at Central Wyoming College contains cardio and weight machines to keep future EMTs in shape.
