EMT Basic Training in Arizona
Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) are a vital link in the chain of healthcare. During an emergency, EMTs are dispatched to the scene by a 911 operator, and often work with police and fire department personnel. It is their responsibility to provide efficient, quality medical care and transport patients to the hospital. EMTs engage in high-risk work, which means it is absolutely critical they receive proper training. With our hands-on EMT basic training, you can join this group of dedicated healthcare providers and make a significant difference in people’s lives.

I.V. Maintenance.
Occasionally, patients need to be transferred from one facility to another with an I.V. already established. Through our training students will learn I.V. basics. Students will learn the I.V. basics, including the identification of medications used in I.V. therapy and monitoring the I.V. line. NOTE: this is not for initiating I.V.’s, it is to learn how to take care of a patient who already has one.
Advanced Airway Management.
This is a lifesaving procedure that helps unconscious patients maintain a secure airway. Students learn about endotracheal intubation, dual lumen airway devices, and other ways to help a patient breathe. Students will receive training on insertion of a supraglottic airway, which can be used when intubation has failed or when airway management is needed for trapped patients.
