Opportunities in Emergency Care
Opportunities in Emergency Care (OEC) is an award-winning medical education program that offers extensive opportunities to students interested in serving others in the healthcare field.
Based in Spring Lake Park High School, we educate in-district, as well as out-of-district students from many other regional high schools. We teach a variety of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) programs to regional high school students. Students can learn basic First Aid, or become fully prepared for pursuing careers in clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, in-home healthcare, ambulance services, fire departments, through our courses. Students can earn college credits and/or their National Registry of Emergency Medical Technician (NREMT) certification, which enables them to pursue careers in various EMS and healthcare professions.
Opportunities in Emergency Care is part of our Health & Human Services Pathway. Within the Health & Human Services Pathway, students have the opportunity to explore careers that meet the basic needs of our communities, including medicine, public health, social services and education. This pathway gives students several opportunities for hands-on learning in the field. Learn more about SLP's Career and College Pathways.
