Perhaps one of the most exciting new events in Emergency Medicine Services since the advent of the BS-EMS degree at the University of New Mexico is the highly anticipated debut for the UIAA IKAR recognized Terrestrial Strike Rescue course. The course will not only be a Strike Rescue certification course as well as provide and National Fire certification, but will also be the first university-backed, internationally recognized rescue instruction course in the United States that will offer college credit towards a degree.
This is going to be a 400 level course that will quickly review the standard rescue skills to get the participants capable in the vertical environment, introduce all the concepts in modern rope rescue for all disciplines, as well as delve into the literature and learn how to formulate critical thinking for rescue work. This is an integral part of the BS-EMS program that will help Paramedics be more productive and competitive in the job market.
We're putting together the topics and syllabus for this course late this summer/early fall. The SR team is a group of people with various backgrounds and experience. This course promises to be extraordinary. We hope that you'll be able to get into this course since seating is indeed limited and expectations are high.
There will be NFPA, Wilderness, and Alpine Industrial rescue techniques described and displayed by our professional instructors and utilized by the students. This is likely on of the best opportunities around when it comes to rescue work in the outdoor industry when it comes to training. See yo in the classroom this Spring !!!
