Emergency Medical Responder (EMR)

The Instructor Emergency Medical Responder is to initiate immediate lifesaving care to critical patients who access the emergency medical system. EMR will learn the basic knowledge and skills necessary to provide lifesaving interventions while awaiting additional EMS response and to assist higher level personnel at the scene and during transport.

Emergency Medical Responders function as part of a comprehensive EMS response, under medical oversight. Emergency Medical Responders perform basic interventions with minimal equipment.
