Staten Island Emergency Medical Training Center (SIEMT) is dedicated to the safety and well-being of our staff and our students, and COVID-19 is no exception. We are monitoring the situation regularly and doing everything we can to be a resource to our communities as well as to our EMS community.

We are closely following all CDC guidelines and recommendations.
