Header image for Emergency Medical Responder

Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs) deliver pre-hospital emergency medical care. They are often the first medical care providers to reach a scene, and provide critical life-saving interventions. EMRs work under the direction of more advanced personnel, such as emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics, and provide support during medical emergencies.

Becoming an Emergency Medical Responder

To become an EMR, individuals must complete a state-approved training program and pass a certification exam. Training programs typically last for several months and cover topics such as anatomy and physiology, CPR, first aid, and medical emergencies. Some programs also offer additional training in areas such as hazardous materials handling and emergency vehicle operations.
