Emergency Responder Course (48 hour)

This 48-hour course is consistent with national EMS curriculum requirements and educations standards; however, it is not the intent of the ASHI Emergency Medical Response program to cross the EMS scope of practice threshold.

HSS Emergency Medical Response training cadre members are real medical responders that have provided emergency medical care in urban and industrial environments for years.

Health and Safety Sciences’ interactive training techniques are designed to immerse students into the world of emergency medical response by utilizing ASHI’s world renowned learning programs.

HSS instructors employ comprehensive hands-on instructional methods and train students to stabilize and/or resolve medical scenarios that may occur in their work setting.

Each student must not only pass a rigorous final exam, but also must successfully complete a series of skills verification stations before they can earn the distinction of Emergency Medical Responder.

This course involves strenuous physical activity under high-pressure demands – HSS builds Emergency Medical Responders one skill set at a time.

Health and Safety Sciences’ ASHI Emergency Medical Responder program is fully mobile and can be delivered at any location your organization requests. This program can be provided in conjunction with tactical carbine and pistol courses and earn an additional certificate as a qualified Tactical Medical Professional TacMED-Pro.
