Abstract:This course is one of a series of courses making up a National EMS education
program for out-of hospital care. The First Responder is a designated level of
emergency medical care provider as outlined by the National EMS Education and
Practice Blueprint. The term "first responder" has been applied to the first
individual who arrives at the scene regardless of the individual's type of
credential. It is the goal of the First Responder: National Standard Curriculum
to provide students with the core knowledge, skills and attitudes to function in
the capacity of a first responder. The First Responder uses a limited amount of
equipment to perform initial assessment and intervention and is trained to
assist other EMS providers. This level of provider is not intended to be
utilized as the minimum staffing for an ambulance. Enrichment programs and
continuing education will help fulfill other specific needs for the First
Responder training.
