Vivo Healthcare Institute has introduced two short-term courses for emergency medical technician (EMT) for both working professionals and students.
The Institute is promising 100 per cent placement support, and these programmes will reportedly upgrade skills of healthcare professionals with diploma and degrees in Nursing (GNM) B Pharma and B.Sc. Life Sciences as well as 10+2 students to become Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) in government, private hospitals, NGOs and health and safety departments of corporate companies.
For healthcare professionals, the duration of Emergency Medical Technician (Basic) course is two months while it is four months course for 10+2 students with Science background. The institute is also offering another useful training programme — Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) – to train people for critical response during the medical emergencies. This programme is certified by American Heart Association (AHA).
“Healthcare infrastructure is being improved worldwide and in India, we still have a long way to go to set up an adequate healthcare system for all. This is leading to remarkable growth in both government and private healthcare sector, with the number of hospitals and healthcare providers growing by every passing day, we need a large number of professionally trained emergency medical technicians who play a crucial role in both pre and post hospitalisation phases, said Vivo Healthcare spokesperson Vikas Tripathi.
“With these programmes we intend to prepare young people for careers in emergency medical care in a variety of situations and institutions. It will benefit the healthcare industry by filling the lacunae that exist due to the absence of trained personnel to handle emergencies and set a new standard for first response in emergencies in the country,” he added.
