The EMS training program creates a foundation for providers of pre-hospital medical care through rigorous training and testing of knowledge and skills associated with treating a variety of ailments and injuries.
The program includes both basic and advanced techniques of emergency care, stabilization, and immobilization of ill and injured patients.
