Emergency Medicine Undergraduate UA - UA General

Course Description

- This course will provide an in depth review of EMT and Paramedic knowledge and will allow students to recertify as an EMT, AEMT, or paramedic in the State of Arizona or using the National Registry of EMTs (NREMT) recertification process. Course topics will cover all didactic material/objectives required by the National Registry of EMTs (NREMT) for both EMTs and Paramedics. All students will be expected to complete all course objective/content regardless of their level or training or primary level of certification. Note, the NCCP renewal option has not implemented in all states. To see if your state is currently participating in the NCCP recertification model click here (https://www.nremt.org/rwd/public/states/state-ems-agencies). Material covered will include:

- 'National CE' or didactic material identified by the NREMT for EMTs and Paramedics as part of the National Core Competency Program (NCCP) program.

- 'Local CE' or material approved by Southern Arizona EMS medical directors as valuable for EMCTs operating in southern Arizona. Please note that if you do not practice as an EMCT in southern Arizona you must get approval from your local medical director to count this content toward recertification.

- 'Individual CE' for EMTs or paramedics. For EMTs this course will cover all of the 45 hours of national, local, & individual CE necessary to recertify with the NREMTs. For Paramedics who require 60 hours of didactic material for recertification you may count the above local hour of CE as individual if you medical director requires specific 'Local CE.'

- Skills lab or Skills attestation: As part of the recertification process and this course each student will be expected to participate in an in person skills lab or complete a skills check list and have a EMS medical director or EMS educator sign off on skill competency.
