An emergency medical services (EMS) trainer provides professional education to people involved in emergency services. EMS instructors teach people how to deal with medical emergencies and offer everything from extensive training courses to prepare people for certification as paramedics to refresher courses for people who need to renew certification or meet continuing education requirements. They can also provide specialized training modules, such as training in response to terrorism or training for people who assist special weapons and tactics (SWAT) teams.
To become an EMS instructor, it is usually necessary to be a fully qualified EMS provider, such as a paramedic, and complete a training program designed to prepare people for work as instructors and instructors. The training program provides people with information on how to organize a curriculum, meet government-set curriculum requirements, and make the material interesting and accessible to students. You may need to pass an exam to become certified to start working as an EMS instructor.
EMS instructors can work for training facilities, providing education to firefighters, law enforcement and medical personnel. They can also work as freelancers, providing mobile training. For each training, the EMS instructor must confirm that the curriculum meets government-set standards and guidelines, obtain equipment and supplies for students, including textbooks, and provide high-level instruction. It often takes one-to-one contact to provide people with the physical skills, as well as the knowledge, to provide emergency medical care.
In addition to working in the classroom, an EMS instructor can be involved in setting up training scenarios. They are used by people who are in training to provide emergency services, as well as by emergency services agencies interested in testing their personnel and preparing for hypothetical events ranging from car accidents to the detonation of nuclear bombs. Emergency scenarios can involve coordinating with multiple agencies to create a realistic simulation as well as a post-event review of everyone’s performance.
Working as an EMS trainer involves preparing people to provide the best possible care, while training people to assess and secure scenes, work with other emergency services personnel, and provide support in a variety of settings. Many EMS instructors rely on their personal experiences to provide objective lessons and possible scenarios for students. They may also oversee testing for students applying for certification, administering written and practical tests to verify that students qualify to provide emergency medical services.
