Emergency Medical Response - Red Cross

Red Cross Emergency Medical Response (https://www.redcrosslearningcenter.org/s/candidate-emergency-medical-response) is a dynamic 56-hour course featuring lecture, video, simulated emergency situations, discussion and hands-on skill practice based on the national EMS curriculum requirements and educational standards. While Emergency Medical Response (EMR) does not provide state licensure or certification as an Emergency Medical Responder, this course is ideal for anyone wanting to receive training similar to the training EMS professionals receive as they enter careers in healthcare, public safety, or law enforcement.

Download and study the course text, review the PowerPoint presentation, and watch the course videos. Combined with hands-on practice of the practical skills, Emergency Medical Response serves as a good foundation for street medics, that goes beyond basic first aid.
