EMERGENCY MEDICAL RESPONDER COURSE (EMR)
$550.00 | Course lasts up to 60 hours
A Kentucky-Certified Emergency Medical First Responder is a person who has completed an approved course and received certification by KBEMS in providing pre-hospital care for both medical and trauma emergencies. They have a higher skill level than those trained in basic first aid.
First responders can support emergency medical technicians and paramedics by providing basic medical care for soft tissue and bone injuries and assisting in childbirth. They are also trained in packaging and transporting patients.
A Certified First Responder is often confused with being a first responder, which is a generic term referring to the first medically trained responder to arrive on the scene of an emergency. First responders include but are not limited to fire, police, and emergency medical personnel.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN COURSE (EMT)
$850.00 | Course lasts up to 140 hours
People's lives often depend on the quick reaction and competent care of EMTs. Incidents such as automobile accidents, heart attacks, falls, childbirth, and gunshot wounds require immediate emergency medical care.
EMTs provide vital services by caring for and transporting the sick or injured to the appropriate medical facility. In an emergency, EMTs are often dispatched by a 911 operator to the scene, where they work with police and firefighters.
Once on the scene, EMTs assess the patient's condition while trying to determine whether the patient has any pre-existing medical conditions and the severity of the condition. Using pre-determined protocols, they provide emergency care and transport the patient to the appropriate medical facility.
EMTs operate in emergency medical services systems where a physician provides medical direction and oversight. Medical technicians use special equipment, such as backboards, to immobilize patients before placing them on stretchers and securing them in the ambulance for transport to a medical facility.
They typically work in teams of two or more. During the transport of a patient, one EMT drives while the other monitors the patient's vital signs and gives additional care as needed.
ADVANCED EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN COURSE (AEMT)
$1,500.00 | Course up to 300 hours

The AEMT possesses the knowledge and skills necessary to provide patient care and transportation. AEMTs function as part of a holistic EMS response and operate under medical oversight. They perform interventions with the basic and advanced equipment typically found in an ambulance.
