The Emergency Medicine Institute is proud to announce the arrival of two ambulances that will be used to train students in the city.  EMI is the first institute to offer advanced training in the field of Emergency Medical Technician.  Kenneth D’Alessandro, MES Program Director said, “Having advanced equipped ambulances will allow the students to experience EMS in reality.  Students will provide both emergency and non-emergency care to citizens and industry.”  EMI is currently undergoing an expansion of programs and is looking to open a new institute in another major Saudi Arabian city.
