COHP 2130 - Emergency Medical Responder (3 Credits)

Emergency Medical Responders have the knowledge and skills necessary to provide immediate lifesaving care to critical patients who access the emergency medical services system. EMRs provide immediate lifesaving interventions while awaiting additional EMS resources to arrive including basic life support, bleeding control, assessing vital signs, patient assessment, splinting, and much more. EMRs also provide assistance to higher-level personnel at the scene of emergencies and during transport. Emergency Medical Responders are a vital part of the comprehensive EMS response. This course serves as a foundation for all health-related programs by teaching the necessary fundamental skills to provide care in an emergency situation and also prepares students for entry-level into the emergency medical services profession.
