Explore the knowledge, skills, and abilities for citizens, law enforcement officers, and other public safety officials to render basic care to a sick or injured person until the arrival of emergency medical technicians or paramedics. Focus on gaining access to patients, performing patient assessment, and managing life threatening situations. Recognize positive self-care for an emergency responder. Learn and demonstrate American Heart Association Basic CPR/AED standards for certification. Successful completion leads to eligibility to take the National Registry Emergency Medical Responder exam and the Maryland State exam for certification. Lab fee $60. Note: There is a fee associated with each of these exams. This course is not recommended for students seeking to continue in the EMT program.
