Course Description

Advanced Emergency Response focuses on training required to work in the field of prehospital care as an Emergency Medical Responder (EMR). Topics covered include ambulance operations, patient assessment, management of trauma and medical emergency situations, mental and physical fitness, as well as professional requirements to become an EMR. This course also prepares you to apply for the provincial EMR designation through Alberta College of Paramedics.

The course combines online-managed self-study of theoretical concepts with mandatory classroom lab days which include lecture and practical components. You will be required to complete pre-course work online leading up to the first in-person lab.

Note: Registration for this course closes seven days prior to course start date.

Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to:

  • explain the components of, and requirements for the emergency medical services (EMS) profession.
  • explain the ethical and legal responsibilities specific to an emergency medical responder (EMR).
  • manage patient care.
  • administer medications according to the guidelines outlined in the Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) Scope of Practice.
  • use professional communication techniques with colleagues, patients and transition of care to other health providers.

  • exhibit physical strength and fitness consistent with the requirements of emergency medical responder (EMR) practice.
  • define strategies to maintain mental health.
  • demonstrate interpersonal communication skills appropriate to the setting.
