For first responders’ lifesaving training is critical and getting that training on real human bodies can be an added benefit.
Metro Tech understands that need and has now opened a cadaver lab. This class, open for EMT and first responders, is a first for Vo-techs in Oklahoma.
Jason LankFord with Metro Tech said this was a COVID opportunity that they were able to take advantage of.
“This program has existed for about twenty years at OU, and last year when COVID hit they shut it down.” Lankford said.
“Only medical students allowed in the building. They needed somewhere to go for this training.” Lankford said.

With nurses seemingly working around the clock, there is a call to action for RNs and LPNs that have retired, let their license expire, or simply have not taken the test to become nurses. Right now, there is an urgent need.
If you ask any nurse or health care professional, they will tell you, their job has become exhausting. While many love their job, relief is desperately needed. Metro Tech is stepping in to meet that need. We have partnered with OU Health Science Center with the nursing department there, and what they do is they start out with the didactic portion of the nurse refresher program. So, it’s an online course that they can take, Jay Decoteau with Metro Tech said.
