Eligibility Requirements: 

• Must be a current Emory University student (undergraduate/graduate), faculty/staff member, or Emory Healthcare affiliate at the time the course begins. Students graduating in 2026 may apply, but they will only be admitted if space allows. 
  • Note: Incoming first-year students (Class of 2029) and transfer students are asked to apply when a second application opens in April 2025. This will allow selected applicants to be invited for an in-person interview in late August after they have already arrived on campus. 
• Clear and pass a background check and drug screen (after acceptance into the program). 
• Must meet the Emory Immunization Requirements for Health Sciences Students (may be completed after acceptance into the program).
• Must be at least 18 years old by course completion. 
• Must be committed to volunteering for Emory EMS for at least one year after program completion. 

Tuition and Additional Costs: 

• Tuition: $2,100 (to be paid after acceptance into the program) 
• Other Costs: 
  • Uniform Items and Tools: Students are required to purchase their own EMS-grade boots and personal EMS tools (e.g., stethoscope, trauma shears, pen light, etc.). Costs vary but typically range from $100-$300.  
  • Transportation Costs: Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from internship sites (e.g., gas, Uber, Lyft). Those relying on rideshare services should budget an estimated $500-$1,000, though costs may vary. Education Program Staff are mindful of these expenses and will attempt to assist coordinate carpooling whenever possible. 
• Immunization Compliance: Any bloodwork and immunizations required will be covered by the student. Students are encouraged to use their personal health insurance.
