The EMS program enables fire, rescue, medical, and response personnel to be better prepared to deliver specific medical services within their communities. This highly successful program utilizes a combination of classroom and hands-on training to prepare the student with needed EMS skills and knowledge. All courses are administered utilizing state-of-the-art professional education and certification training and curriculum.

Experience – Instructional personnel have years of experience as EMTs and Paramedics in a variety of disciplines and service areas. Both full-time and adjunct staff are actively involved in the municipal, rural area, fire, rescue, industrial, maritime, or Department of Defense disciplines.

EMS Training The EMS program focuses on training emergency responders at all levels from ECA through Paramedic, as well as specialty courses such as CPR, Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support, and Advanced Cardiac Life Support. Since its beginning with ESTI in 2003, the program has trained more than 2,000 students in all aspects of emergency medical care.

Ambulance Strike Team Leader Training Disasters are happening with greater frequency than in the past. This course will train EMS personnel in leadership or management positions to serve in the role of Ambulance Strike Team/Medical Task Force Leader as defined by FEMA’s resource typing. Participants will be taught to prepare for, respond to, and recover from significant events while functioning in a supervisory role over trained personnel and ambulances on Mutual Aid assignments to jurisdictions confronted with large numbers of patients requiring mass care or medical evacuation.

EMS Leadership Development EMS Leadership Academy provides leadership and management training for EMS leaders. From the beginning, the program philosophy has been to provide continuing education designed for professional development using an integrated EMS System approach. Training is designed to be people-focused, performance-measured and outcome-driven, using a “can-do” positive approach and attitude.

Rural/Frontier EMS Funding TEEX, in conjunction/cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), is committed to improving pre-hospital care and emergency medical response in rural and frontier areas of Texas by improving the accessibility of training and EMS involvement. Through this program, TEEX can assist agencies and departments with initial EMS training, refresher training, continuing education training, and/or instructor training. Funding for this invaluable program comes from the TxDOT Traffic Safety Division. Courses are offered at your location to minimize the time away from the station and to keep volunteers in the community. Class size and length is based on the type of course requested, but based on minimum Texas Department of State Health Services guidelines.

WMD/EMS Operations and Planning This program will equip pre-hospital and hospital medical personnel with the skills needed to ensure proper patient triage, treatment, and transportation in the event of exposure to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) weapons. Students will use both adult and pediatric human patient simulators to promote critical thinking skills and demonstrate proper techniques for protecting themselves in these situations. Also available are several grant-funded online courses to gain specific knowledge on a variety of WMD/Terrorism topics.

US&R Medical Program The US&R Medical Program includes all TEEX courses relevant to medical personnel responding to a natural disaster or terrorist incident. Unique challenges face the medical community during a natural disaster or terrorist incident. Personnel are required to perform tasks under harsh conditions, often with inadequate supplies, resources and staffing.
