Our EMT is the comprehensive, evidence-based emergency medicine course that prepares the student to handle the assessment, treatment, and transport of injury and illness encountered in the 911 system and more.
We have developed an integrated Hybrid structure using Online lessons to build knowledge and depth, Zoom Classes for quizzing and review and this allows class time to focus on skills and scenarios. You’ll be taught everything it takes to provide assessment and care with the tools of the trade for treating both trauma and medical problems. Learn how to handle life the threats of airway, respiratory, and circulatory problems, stop bleeds, wound care, fractures, head/spine injury, torso trauma, cold/heat injuries, bites, heart attacks, diabetic emergencies, strokes, ambulance operations, HazMat scenes, and much more. Our courses are taught by people who have done what they teach. All students spend time working in clinical settings at hospitals, and ambulances. You will be in an active, dynamic experiential process of lecture, skill labs, scenarios, mock drills, and team-building, all crafted to create the confidence to act when someone is in need.
This new structure allows us to move more quickly without rushing because the Online lessons are done at home as are the Zoom classes, so you don’t have to drive to class for 3-4 months.
This is an NHBEMS approved course, when complete students will be qualified for the National Registry (NR) EMT computer-based and practical exams giving them the NREMT Certification. The NREMT certification is recognized in ME, NH, VT, and most of the US.
This course is two weekends: March 24-26 & April 8-9, 2023. 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.
The Wilderness Medicine Module is built for the trained provider: (*OEC, *EMR, EMT, AEMT, Paramedic, Nurse, NP, PA, MD, DO) anyone who has training in medicine and wants to learn how to offer a high level of care in remote settings, with improvised equipment perhaps working alone. Focus is on taking what the provider knows and puts them in the wild environment performing their familiar skills with new “twists” as well as looking at the role of ALS in the back-country. The wilderness produces a broad spectrum of traumatic injuries, soft tissue (cuts/scrapes, burns/blisters), musculoskeletal injuries, injuries of heat, cold, altitude, and all sorts of bites, stings, and stabs. Learn the predictable and preventable principles that would minimize injury/illness and how to handle problems like, reduction of dislocations, improvised splinting, cleaning and dressing wounds to prevent infection, as well as learning to create drinkable water, build an improvised litter, and the “magic” hypothermia wrap. This course prepares you to organize and perform a back-country rescue. Learn how to go into the wild prepared and build a new standard of care that prepares you to go from deep in the wild, to the road, and to the hospital in the truck. (*EMR and *OEC Techs will earn a Wilderness First Responder certification).44 hours, usually 4 days and 1 or 2 evenings.

The OEC to EMT course was created specifically for Outdoor Emergency Care technicians and Ski Patrol Directors who want to expand their knowledge and skills both on and off the mountain. This course both recognizes the excellent trauma and rescue skills of the certified patroller and builds on that foundation by bridging the gaps between the OEC and National Standard EMT curriculum. This first-of-its-kind course focuses on a deeper understanding of anatomy & physiology, pathophysiology, medical emergencies, urban rescue, ambulance operations, hazardous materials, mass-casualty incidents, triage, and much more. We have spread out the 80+ hours of course content over four weekends creating a reasonable pace. This course includes take-home quizzes, clinical experiences, and online lessons, allowing the certified OEC Technician to become an EMT in about half the time and about a third of the usual course cost.
This course is designed to prepare students for the National Registry EMT cognitive and psychomotor exams for national certification. 80+ hrs., Sat/Sun, over 4 weekends.
