EMR

EMR training will be held September 16 – 21, 2022

The Emergency Medical Response (EMR) course meets and exceeds the requirements set by National EMS standards. Many of the skills that we teach in an EMT-B course will be taught during this course – plus much more.

After completing the course, you will receive a nationally recognized certification that is active for two years. You will also receive a BLS CPR certification and an NAEMT B-CON certificate. 

This course teaches you basic necessary medical skills to help sustain life as well as how to minimize injury during pre-hospital medical and/or traumatic emergencies while awaiting higher-level personnel at the scene. The instructor will work with you to advance your confidence and proficiency in a variety of tasks and skills. There will be classroom time, panel discussions, evening chats, and A LOT of hands-on training.
