Course Name:
Emergency Medical Dispatch
Course Description:
The Emergency Medical Dispatcher (EMD) has been recognized as an essential component of effective EMS systems. Proper and timely training as well as a sound Medical Protocol are what help EMDs deliver quality care to the public with emergency medical needs.
Participants who complete the 3-day course will be eligible for certification through the International Academy of EMD. To be EMD-certified, the applicant must also be CPR-certified through the National Safety Council, American Heart Association, American Red Cross, European Resuscitation Council, or equivalent. We recommend this training be completed prior to attending the EMD course.

Additional Information:
1) We recommend that the CPR training be completed prior to attending the EMD course; however, CPR certification completed after the course date will still be accepted. IAED Certification is valid for two years, beginning the day the test is taken and expiring the last day of that month two years later.
