This EMT-Basic refresher course is designed for EMTs who provide urgent care at emergency sites or in an ambulance during hospital transport. Students enrolled in this class will receive updated training on all necessary emergency medical care skills needed to fulfill duties as a basic level EMT with an ambulance service or other specialized medical service. There is an option to pursue a National EMT certification and this class meets that requirement. This EMT-Basic refresher course covers topics such as trauma management, emergency childbirth delivery, oxygen administration, triage, and cardiac arrest treatment. American Heart Association BCLS for Healthcare Provider class is included in the course. Students will take the challenge exam at the beginning of the course to determine the required days, if any, that students must attend. This course requires skills testing, written testing, and the New York State written exam to be recertified – this is not a CME based program. The hours can all be used for a complete CME program if the student is enrolled with their agency as a CME student.
