Q. Do I need to purchase my own stethoscope?
A. No, Aerie will provide stethoscopes for students to use during class. However, we recommend that students consider purchasing their own stethoscope as they work toward obtaining their EMT license. There are many options available, and trying different models during class can help students determine which one suits them best. One highly recommended brand is Littmann® (https://www.littmann.com/en-us/home/classic-iii-stethoscope/).
More information with all the course details will be emailed to every student before the course begins. Please be sure that your email is current and working.
