    Description
    Emergency Medical Technician. This course provides continuing education and skills verification modules for current Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) certified at the Basic Life Support (BLS) level. It satisfies most of the refresher requirements of local, state, and national Emergency Medical Services (EMS) certifying organizations. EMS-related topics include airway management and ventilation, cardiac care and resuscitation, patient assessment, injury management, legal and ethical issues, vital signs monitoring, and assisting with medication administration. This course does not provide preparation for the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) entry or recertification exam. Completion of this course provides currently certified EMTs, wanting to recertify with the NREMT, with the 24 hours of required course content as well as the verification of required skills competency.
