Blended Emergency Medical Responder (EMR)

Blended Emergency Medical Responders (EMR)

The Blended Emergency Medical Responders course is for those looking for an entry-level EMS program. The EMR is the first level before becoming an EMT. This EMR program is to provide medical training for people that do not have a strong medical background.

The EMR course is a prerequisite for those seeking employment as a firefighter, law enforcement, open water lifeguard or as first responder. The training will prepare you for a variety of medical and trauma emergencies. Learn how to manage disaster areas and stabilize the injured until the EMT/paramedic can transport them to a hospital. Upon completing this course, the EMR provider will be eligible to apply for the National Emergency Medical Responder Certificate.  

The Beating Heart Center EMR program is accredited by the American Red Cross, Health and Safety Institute, and the National Safety Council. We meet and exceed the national EMR standards.
