Qualified students are awarded the Au Sable Fellowship of $1,000. A $350 grant-in-aid is also available each year. Interested students should contact Dr. John Silvius, Cedarville CollegeAu Sable Institute Representative. Emergency Medical Service The Emergency Medical Service was established at Cedarville College in 1969. The squad is comprised of approximately a dozen students (EMT's, Advanced EMT's, and Paramedics) who volunteer their time to act as the Emergency Medical Service division of Patterson Clinic. Members of the squad must be certified in the State of Ohio as Emergency Medical Techni– cians. The squad responds to emergencies both on campus and in the com– munity through mutual aid with the Cedarville Township Fire Department. Since state certification is necessary for membership in the squad, the College grants credit to those students who complete the Department of Education's approved programs in Emergency Medical Technician, Ad– vanced Emergency Medical Technician, and Paramedic programs. Upon receipt of bonified copies of 'Department of Education' certificates of completion, the College will grant five quarter hours for Emergency Medi– cal Technician training, three quarter hours for Advanced Emergency Medi– cal Technician training, and eight quarter hours for Paramedic training. CCEMS (Cedarville College Emergency Medical Service) sponsors the Basic EMT class in the evenings both Fall and Wmter Quarters. The class prepares the student for both State of Ohio and National Registry certifica– tion. This aids those who wish to find summer experience as either a volun– teer or part-time EMT in their home states. Students interested in emergency medicine gain experience fry serving in the Emergency Medical Service. CCEMS is both represented in the Student Government Association and considered a Christian ministry team. Membership on CCEMS provides exciting opportunities for ministry and valuable experience to many stu– dents particularly those with nursing, prelaw, psychology, premedical, busi– ness and preseminary majors. One-Year Bible Program The College offers a concentrated program for the student who desires a formal education in Bible before he pursues his vocation at home or en– gages in a field of technical study not available in a Christian school. It is designed so that a student can function as a more knowledgeable layman in his church. This curriculum is outlined in the Biblical Education section of the catalog.
