Emergency Medical Responder
All of the information and abilities required to deliver proper patient assessments, interventions, and ongoing care—including transporting a patient to a medical facility—will be taught and shown by participants. The training is designed for emergency medical care professionals who might be in charge of making preliminary assessments, giving safe and responsible treatment, and transporting a patient to the best possible hospital. In addition to adhering to the Paramedic Association of Canada’s National Occupational Competency Profiles (NOCP), course content may differ based on jurisdictional needs. Dynamic training methods, such as media presentations, practice sessions, conversations, skill demonstrations, videos, and scenarios modeled after actual circumstances, will be used with the participants.
