EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS) FIRST RESPONDER REFRESHER: NATIONAL STANDARD CURRICULUM
This course is one of a series of courses making up a national emergency medical services (EMS) educational program for out-of hospital care. The First Responder is a designated level of emergency medical care provider as outlined by the "National EMS Education and Practice Blueprint". The curriculum was designed and developed based on the 1995 release of the "First Responder: National Standard Curriculum". This refresher curriculum should be used in conjunction with a task analysis of student needs, the "National EMS Education and Practice Blueprint", the 1995 "First Responder: National Standard Curriculum", the 1994 "EMT Basic: National Standard Curriculum", and state guidelines for refresher training. It is not the intent of the course to introduce new material, but to ensure that the students have the necessary knowledge and skills to continue to function as First Responders. This curriculum includes skills necessary for the individual to provide emergency medical care with a limited amount of equipment.
