Course contents :

| Prehospital emergency medical systems have grown with the aim of providing adequate first aid in conditions of acute distress.
Such an objective implies the structuration of first aid systems, proper set of laws and legislation, and acquisition of specific skills and knowledge by the intervention responders.
This course aims at providing the participant the understanding of the requirements of these particular conditions of prehospital emergency medicine, and to acquire the knowledge needed to provide efficient care in that setting. |
