The Brookfield Education Foundation is funding a request to purchase equipment for the new EMT course being offered this year.  This equipment will provide the students with the ability to practice hands-on mandatory skills such as the ability to insert oropharyngeal airway adjuncts (OPA) and nasopharyngeal airway adjuncts (NPA).  These skills allow the students to successfully test for the State of Connecticut and the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians exams and certifications.  This certification will allow students to work as EMT’s, lifeguards, emergency dispatchers and provide a competitive edge for a career as a firefighter.  Additionally, students will have  opportunities to work within doctors offices and hospitals in the area as well as differentiation on the students college application.
