The Emergency Medical Responder Course is an entry-level medical course that trains candidates to respond to life-threatening medical conditions and traumatic emergencies.\u00a0 The EMR course is systematically designed to progress learners through all aspects of pre-hospital care including various treatment guidelines and medical protocols.\u00a0 The course also focuses heavily on enhancing situational management skills, confidence, and communication within the context of emergency medicine and pre-hospital care. As learners develop through the course, they are introduced to essential concepts of emergency medicine and establish a foundation in medical terminology, human anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and clinical science.\u00a0 The skills and training attained through the EMR course meet and exceed occupational first aid training.\u00a0 Employment opportunities for licensed Emergency Medical Responders may include Ambulance services, Fire and Rescue Services, Occupational or industrial first aid settings and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n
