Course Description
The Greater Dayton area
is widely known for having a high emergency patient caseload
in its 21 regional hospitals. Advancing the skills of area EMTs
and Paramedics will yield concrete benefits for the community.

to receive physician instruction on anatomy, physiology, and
basic and advanced procedures.
Attendees obtain experience with new and innovative products. They receive information on some of the latest technologies in EMS care
