St. Mary's EMT cadet class posts 100% pass rate on state modules; 36 students signed up for next year
Summary
At a recent St. Mary's County meeting, a speaker reported that the county’s EMT cadet class achieved a 100% pass rate on state module and psychomotor exams and an 80% first-attempt pass rate on the national EMT exam; 36 students are enrolled for next year.
A speaker at a recent St. Mary's County meeting reported that the St. Mary's County Public Schools EMT cadet class achieved a 100% pass rate on state modules 1, 2 and 3 and on the state psychomotor exam, and an 80% pass rate on first attempts at the national EMT exam.
The speaker said the results come from an email from a teacher at St. Mary's County Public Schools, who added that additional students who did not pass on the first attempt were expected to pass on subsequent attempts. The teacher also reported that 36 students have signed up for the cadet program next year.
Officials and the speaker credited partnerships with local volunteer fire and rescue departments, the school system and county government for enabling the program at the technical center. The speaker said the program is expanding and described it as “doing wonderful, wonderful work.”
The remarks were informational; no formal action or vote was recorded on the cadet program during the meeting. The speaker noted the program had been discussed previously at a recent meeting but gave no dates or funding details at this session.
County residents, EMS agencies and students pursuing emergency medical careers were identified as the primary groups affected by the program’s growth. Funding sources, specific program budget figures and accreditation steps beyond the exam pass rates were not specified at the meeting.
