Course Description
Emergency Medical Services 1 is designed to teach students how to recognize and respond to various emergencies. Students will review basic anatomy and physiology as it relates to injury management and treatment. Students will review basic information needed for all phases of a healthcare professional. Information that students are exposed to will include legal and ethical implications, communications, safety, infection control and professionalism. In this course students will learn what skills are necessary to recognize and care for emergencies in adults, children, and infants until professional medical help arrives. Students will obtain FA/CPR/AED certification. Students will be required to perform physical activity. EMS 2 is a review of EMS 1 which prepares the students to possibly become First Responders (age requirement). It reinforces the steps to follow in an emergency until more advanced medical personnel arrive.
