In China, there is no EMS system currently in place so we are working with the local government to start training first responders. There is a big demand for paramedic personnel in China with the ever growing population and we are the only organization in the world to help the Chinese government train paramedics in China and Chicago.
Student Exchanges
Students study their curriculum in China for two years before coming to Chicago for hands-on training as a first responder. They are taught by the best EMS educators in the country from the Chicago EMS system.
The program includes:
- 40 hours of EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) training
- 30 hours of ambulance ride time
- Certified CPR training
Doctors & Nurses Exchanges
In addition to training first responders, emergency medicine doctors and nurses come to Chicago to learn more about the EMS system to gain important knowledge and bring best practices to China. We also have the top pediatric health care professionals going to China to train local professionals.
The program includes:
- EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) training
- Ambulance ride time
- Shadowing professional emergency medicine doctors over several shifts
