The Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) program provides foundational emergency care training for individuals who are often first on scene — law enforcement officers, firefighters, security personnel, and community members in critical roles. Students learn to recognize and manage life-threatening emergencies, perform CPR and use an AED, control severe bleeding, manage airway obstructions, and assist with childbirth. The EMERGILITY® EMR course is designed for those who may not pursue a full EMS career but need the knowledge and skills to stabilize a patient and sustain life until advanced help arrives. Compact, practical, and immediately applicable, EMR training is an essential first step in building a capable emergency response network.

The Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program is the cornerstone of prehospital emergency care, preparing students for one of the most essential roles in the emergency medical services system. Trainees develop competency in patient assessment, airway management, hemorrhage control, shock management, spinal immobilization, emergency childbirth, and the safe transport of patients in a variety of medical and trauma situations. EMERGILITY® EMT training combines rigorous classroom instruction with hands-on skills practice and real-world scenario training, ensuring graduates are ready to perform confidently under pressure. Upon successful completion, students are eligible to sit for the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) certification exam — the recognized standard for EMS credentialing across the nation.

Tactical Emergency Medical Support (TEMS) training prepares medical personnel and tactical operators to deliver emergency care in high-threat, austere, and dynamic environments where standard EMS protocols may not apply. Drawing from military and law enforcement operational medicine principles, the TEMS curriculum covers threat-appropriate medical care, hemorrhage control with tourniquets and wound packing, needle thoracostomy, casualty movement and extraction under fire, and medical planning for tactical operations. Students learn to integrate seamlessly within tactical teams, providing care across the three phases of tactical combat casualty care — Care Under Fire, Tactical Field Care, and Tactical Evacuation Care. EMERGILITY®  TEMS is built for law enforcement officers, special operations personnel, paramedics, and physicians operating at the intersection of medicine and mission.
