Formerly our EMR/80-hour course, this program meets the 2011 guidelines of the Canadian Medical Association and the Paramedic Association of Canada’s National Occupational Competency Profile. Ideally suited for workplace responders in high-risk environments, Advanced First Responder participants will develop a strong understanding of the human body in health, illness or injury. Participants will develop the skills necessary to assess patients, make critical decisions about care, access emergency services and package a patient for transport–thereby minimizing the time required for EMS services to be on-scene.

The Emergency Medical Responder course is designed as our highest level of emergency medical training. The program meets the updated guidelines of the Canadian Medical Association and the Paramedic Association of Canada’s National Occupational Competency Profile.

Ideally suited for worksite medical responders, for occupational nurses who may have to respond to workplace emergency scenes or as a pre-paramedicine program for students with an interest in pursuing paramedic, nursing, or medical training. In some Canadian provinces, EMR is the minimum level of training required to work as an entry-level ambulance attendant.

The Remote Workplace Emergency Medical Responder program is ideal for medical responders at small to large worksites. Participants will learn, in addition to basic first aid skills, patient management in unfavourable conditions and longer-duration settings. This includes the long-term management of an unresponsive victim, management of head and neck injuries and treatment for many common, remote workplace first aid situations.

Additional skills such as motorized/non-motorized land, water, and air evacuation will be discussed and where possible, practiced. In-depth longer–duration practical scenarios provide the opportunity for closer-to-life practice with significant feedback from our facilitators.

Support texts include a Wilderness First responder student manual, Emergency Medical Responder Textbook and Fieldguide.

This course follows the Practice Guidelines established by the Wilderness Medical Society & WSIB.
