Emergency Medical Services One
Under Development
Emergency Medical Services 1 (EMS1)
The EMS1 course is the intermediate course for a EMS pathway. EMS 1 is also used as an advanced course in many Public Safety Pathways.
Emergency Medical Services 1 (EMS1) prepares students to work in a fast-growing career field in LPS. Once students complete this course they will be fully prepared for entry-level work in the field. The course is designed for high school students as part of the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program. This course aims to provide students with fundamental knowledge and skills essential for entry-level positions in emergency medical services. Participants will learn about basic anatomy, medical assessment, emergency response procedures, and patient care. It is recommended students test for Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) at the end of the course.

Industry Recognized Credential (IRC) for this Course
Emergency Medical Responder (EMR)
Emergency Medical Responders provide immediate lifesaving care to critical patients who access the emergency medical services system. EMRs have the knowledge and skills necessary to provide immediate lifesaving interventions while awaiting additional EMS resources to arrive. 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. Under medical oversight, Emergency Medical Responders perform basic interventions with minimal equipment.
