* Methodology: "Est. Lives Saved" and "Est. People Helped" are projections based on over 20 years of EMSU graduate data (since 2003). Lives Saved factors in AHA research showing bystander CPR doubles or triples cardiac arrest survival rates, combined with the cumulative career impact of our EMTs, Paramedics, and CPR/BLS-certified graduates responding to emergencies throughout their careers. People Helped reflects the estimated number of patients treated and community members assisted by EMSU-trained professionals across their EMS careers (a working EMT typically treats 1,500–2,500+ patients per year). Actual numbers may be higher. All base metrics (Students Trained, Certifications Earned) are pulled live from our learning management system.
