EMERGENCY MEDICAL RESPONDER (EMR)

(Formerly First Responder)

EMERGENCY MEDICAL RESPONDER (EMR)

This level of EMS training is designed specifically for the person who is often first to arrive at the scene.  Many police officers, firefighters, industrial workers, and other public service providers are trained as Emergency Medical Responders.  This training emphasizes scene safety and how to provide immediate care for the sick and injured and also provides training on how to assist ambulance personnel when they arrive.

Students are taught the basic knowledge and skills necessary to provide lifesaving interventions while awaiting additional EMS response and to assist higher level personnel at the scene and during transport.

·      Prerequisites:

You must be at least 14 years of age to challenge for an Indiana State certification in EMR.
