 Home > MESC > Courses Emergency Medical Responder Program This program has been recently added and does not appear in the current MESC Course Catalogue. The Manitoba Emergency Services College will be offering a six week 180 hour, Emergency Medical Responder program. Upon successful completion of the course, individuals will be certified and qualify for Manitoba's provincial licensure examination at the "Technician" level. Emergency Medical Responders are trained to respond to and provide emergency medical care in a variety of situations often as the first on scene, providing initial medical care to the ill or injured. Individuals may also represent a wide variety of roles: ambulance attendant, firefighter, law enforcement officer, and/or rescue team member. As pre-hospital care providers, the EMRs efforts may greatly affect the patients final outcome. Target group This course is designed as a basic entry level training in emergency medical care; it may be considered a foundation for further training within emergency services: EMS, fire, and/or rescue. Course description The course is designed to train participants, already familiar with some aspects of first aid and CPR, in the principles and techniques for providing emergency medical care. The emphasis is on practical skills development. Approximately seventy-five percent of this course is devoted to the actual "hands-on" experiences involved in patient assessment and management. Traditionally, this training has been considered the entry level to emergency, Participant prerequisites candidates must be at least 18 years of age and have a current Health Care Provider (HCP) CPR certificate (In some situations, Basic Rescuer or Level C CPR certificates may be considered.) An Emergency or Standard First Aid course would be an asset.
