Looking to become a Paramedic or Firefighter - The
EMR program is the first step in the EMS Field.
The
Emergency Medical Responder program is designed as the entry-level program for
the Prehospital Profession.
This
EMR Program is competency based with Students assuming the
greater
responsibility for their own learning. As an EMR student you will
be motivated and organized in order to meet the objectives of the program in the
designated time frame. The
EMR Program is designed to provide the
student with the basics of prehospital care.
Students are assessed by observing their
performance in conditions similar to those in an occupational setting.
Those items you learn and practice in the class days and from the modules are
things that a good EMR must have a working knowledge and understanding of in
order to provide the proper and effective patient care.
Students
are given the opportunity to learn and apply new pre-hospital skills in
practical based scenarios. Flatline Response utilizes a full range of
equipment from bandages to a full time on-site ambulance to re-enforce
your new skills. You will become confident with your new skills in
real life situations.
Interested
candidates must apply at least 21 days prior to course start
dates in order to complete the required prestudy. Download the
