Course start:   January 21, 2025

Time: 18:00 – 22:00

Course length:  10 weeks plus skills day – 8 hours

Emergency medical responders are people who are specially trained to provide out-of-hospital care in medical emergencies. There are many different types of emergency medical responders, each with different levels of training, ranging from first aid and basic life support. Emergency medical responders have a very limited scope of practice and have the least amount of comprehensive education, clinical experience or clinical skills of emergency medical services (EMS) personnel. The EMR program is not intended to replace the roles of emergency medical technicians or paramedics and their wide range of specialties. Emergency medical responders typically assist in rural regions providing basic life support where pre-hospital health professionals are not available due to limited resources or infrastructure.

The course consists of Tuesday evening lectures from 18:00 until 22:00. Skills Lab will be held on a Saturday or Sunday toward the end of the lecture portion of the course. This course is online for lecture and in person skills lab TBA based off of location.
