Emergency Medical Responder is the new title for First Responder. Registration for the 2013 Emergency Medical Responder (First Responder) Class will open in the fall. Register here.
AMT sponsors a four weekend academy for EMR certification. EMR is the highest level of volunteer first aid certification. This is advanced training that includes wilderness issues and remote care. The course includes professional level CPR techniques. No prior training needed…this is a stand alone course.
The primary focus of the Emergency Medical Responder is to initiate immediate lifesaving care to critical patients who access the emergency medical system. This individual possesses 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. Emergency Medical Responders function as part of a comprehensive EMS response, under medical oversight. Emergency Medical Responders perform basic interventions with minimal equipment.
