Description:

This course was created for the medical professional who may find themselves caring for a patient or team member during a rescue incident. This course will help bridge the gap between providing advanced medical care and functioning at an operations level during a technical rescue incident. This course will strictly adhere to the NFPA 1006/1670 Standard for Technical Rescue Personnel Professional Qualifications. Students will engage in medical care while receiving practical education on how a rescue may be performed. This course is NOT designed to yield an advanced technical rescuer. Instead, it is designed to enable a medical practitioner to work concomitantly with rescue teams to provide the care needed for entrapped victims. Current pre-hospital certification and Awareness level rescue training is required prior to acceptance into the class.
