What is an Emergency Medical Technician?
Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) are healthcare professionals who provide life-saving emergency care to patients experiencing cardiac arrest, hypoglycemia, or life-threatening shock while transporting them to medical facilities. We train professionals who can calmly and accurately assess situations and provide treatment, regardless of when, where, or who may collapse, making them the frontline of life in emergency scenarios.

Ken Ishizuka
What I want to convey to everyone aspiring to join the Emergency Medical Services department is that while it’s important to enjoy learning, it’s equally essential to be strict with yourself and to understand the pain of the patients. At this well-equipped institution, I hope to cultivate strong emergency medical technicians who can empathize with patients and also be immediately effective in the field.

High-level skills that achieve
excellent results even in national
championships where students
from across the country compete.
In the 'Minami-Nippon Student Emergency
Medical Technology Championship,
' where students aiming to become emergency
medical technicians compete in skills and
knowledge, we achieved overall rankings of 3rd
place or higher in the 3rd to 7th championships,
and won 1st place in the 7th championship.
In the 8th championship, we secured 2nd place
and represented the Minami-Nippon region at
the National Emergency Medical Technology

By studying anatomy, pathology, and symptomatology and gaining practical experience through hands-on training, students will deepen their knowledge of emergency disease management and emergency symptomatology while engaging in training that includes 'specified actions' related to emergency medical procedures. Additionally, starting in the second half of the program, we will conduct civil service exam preparation simultaneously, dedicating about a year to this preparation by the end of the first half of the two-year program.
More comprehensive practical training and exam preparation. Students will learn practical skills through on-site training at hospitals and fire departments, and will also engage in preparation for civil service exams and national qualification exams as they approach the actual tests.
CURRICULUM
Course Content
Practical Training
The scope of emergency medical procedures is expanding, and emergency medical technicians are increasingly expected in the field where lives are saved. At SOLA, students will reliably acquire advanced skills through over 1,000 hours of practical training.
Emergency Medical Training.
By conducting training that simulates actual scenarios, students will acquire skills that enable them to be immediately effective in the field.
ambulance ride-along training
You will experience, observe, and learn about the activities of emergency response teams in actual emergency situations, as well as the daily operations within the fire station.
Hospital Internship
You will observe and learn about the entire process of examining, testing, and treating patients handed over by the emergency team within the hospital.
hands-on training
In recent years, the scope of emergency life-saving procedures that paramedics are allowed to perform has expanded, and training programs have been adapted accordingly
designated procedures for cardiac arrest patients.
Comprehensive simulation training is conducted to ensure that paramedics can accurately perform procedures for patients in cardiac arrest under the direction of a physician.
airway management using equipment
We will ensure that artificial ventilation can be performed effectively using devices such as laryngeal tubes and endotracheal tubes approved in 2004.
administration of glucose solution to patients with hypoglycemia.
When a patient with a history of diabetes experiences a hypoglycemic episode, paramedics will administer a glucose solution. In this process, they will measure blood sugar levels and, if necessary, establish intravenous access before proceeding with the administration, so they will learn this entire sequence in training.
epinephrine administration
In training, we will administer adrenaline (a cardiac stimulant) to patients in cardiac arrest and attempt to restore their heartbeat.
delivery assistance
We will receive lectures from qualified professional midwives and conduct delivery assistance training that connects both the new life and the life of the mother who brings forth that new life in response to emergency childbirth requests.
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) training course
We will conduct CPR training courses and EpiPen training for local residents and school staff as part of our community contribution activities to expand the circle of life-saving efforts.
volunteer participation
We participate as a first aid team in the local marathon, providing first aid to runners and serving as a mobile AED unit. We utilize the knowledge we learn daily to ensure the safety of the runners.
