The Baldy View Regional Occupational Program has adopted a
uniform policy for the Emergency Medical Technician course. Each student will be required to wear a standard
uniform that consists of a navy blue embroidered BVROP polo shirt, navy blue pants (ex: docker’s, dickies, uniform pants,
etc.), black belt (no belt buckles), black “shine-able” shoes or boots and a picture identification name badge.
Students may wear either a white or navy blue undershirt under the uniform polo shirt. No other
color undershirt is allowed. This uniform meets the required dress code for the ambulance ride alongs and
clinical shift rotations.
Students who have any form of facial
piercing, will be required to remove them during class hours as well as during clinical shifts. Ear rings
will be limited to studs only. Students who have visible tattoos will be required to cover them up during
class hours. The purpose of this policy is to prepare the student for the uniform they will be required
to wear as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and to maintain the professionalism of this program as students participate
in hospital emergency room clinical shifts and ambulance field ride along shifts.
There
will be a one week grace period for all students to obtain the proper uniform components to be in compliance with this policy.
If a student comes to class and is not in compliance with
the uniform policy, it will be counted as a tardy under the student’s attendance record. Refer to
the Attendance Policy for the maximum number of tardies and absences allowed for the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course.
