What Comprehensive Medical Teaching Institute does

Comprehensive Medical Teaching Institute (CMTI) is an emergency medical training school founded in 2009 and headquartered in Weymouth, Massachusetts. The company delivers accredited EMT Basic, EMT Advanced, Paramedic, American Heart Association (CPR/BLS/ACLS/PALS), and EMT/Paramedic recertification programs to current healthcare providers, first responders, college students, and organizations requiring workplace certifications. CMTI's curriculum aligns with the American Heart Association 2020 guidelines for CPR and ECC, the Paramedic National Standard Curriculum, and Massachusetts Office of Emergency Medical Services (OEMS) requirements, combining didactic modules, skills lab sessions, interactive scenario evaluations, and clinical internships at nine affiliated hospitals across Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

The Paramedic Program is CMTI's flagship offering, comprising 1,130+ instructional hours across four semesters (560 classroom hours, 200 clinical internship hours, and 250 field internship hours) and is delivered in partnership with Massachusetts Maritime Academy and Quincy College, where students earn up to 27 college credits. The company publicly cites a 90% NREMT pass rate and guaranteed employment placement at Brewster Ambulance Service for graduates. CMTI reports 2024 Paramedic Program outcomes of 100% NREMT Written Pass rate, 89.5% retention, and 82.4% positive placement, with the program outperforming 2022 and 2023 cohorts on pass rate.

CMTI generates revenue primarily through tuition fees: EMT programs priced at $1,400-$1,700 and Paramedic programs at $11,500-$12,500, with additional charges for registration ($120/semester), technology fees ($39/credit), books, uniforms, and the NREMT cognitive exam ($175). Some programs are eligible for FAFSA student loans and G.I. Bill funding. Secondary revenue streams include AHA certification courses sold to individuals and organizations (restaurants, construction companies, dentist offices) and NCCER/NCCP-based recertification programs. The company operates training academies at Massachusetts Maritime Academy in Buzzards Bay and at Quincy College's Quincy and Plymouth campuses, and is led by President Mark Brewster and COO/Co-founder Keith Wilson. CMTI is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds, suggesting founder-owned or bootstrapped capitalization.
