We are pleased to announce a complete line of EMS citation bars for your uniform. 

We custom-designed this complete set based on how difficult it is to find a standard size, a uniform look to the citation bars, and the lack of Advanced EMT and EMR titles. Now your whole team can be recognized on uniforms and shirts.

The Citation bars include:

EMR (Emergency Medical Responder).

This title is recognized by the National Registry and about half the States. EMR is the first rung on the ladder in Emergency Medical Services. The program is taught to many FireFighters, Police, Park Rangers, lifeguards, and other first responders in academies, Red Cross, and community colleges. It provides a comprehensive course of less than 90 hours that covers basic assessment, safety, professional-level CPR, AED, Airway management, fractures, burns, management of heat and cold, shock, and much more.  It can be a springboard for more advanced training and is a baseline expectation of the public that first responders will provide until more advanced medical assistance arrives. 

EMT (Emergency Medical Technicians)

EMTs, in general, provide competent basic medical care and the transport of injured or ill patients to hospitals and care facilities. Most training courses exceed 200 hours and include ambulance ride-alongs and emergency room rotations to gain “real-world” experiences. For thousands of people each day, they are the first point of contact to interact with sick or injured people outside of the hospital.

Advanced Emergency Medical Technician

AEMTs have an intermediate level of training above EMT and below Paramedic. Most training courses total between 300 and 400 hours of instruction, including classroom, laboratory, and clinical/field experience. They use more advanced life support equipment and a limited variety of drugs, IVs, intubation tools, and supplies. Extremely valuable for communities that don’t have the volunteer staff time commitment to devote to paramedic training, yet need advanced per-hospital care services in the field. 

Paramedic (used to be called EMT-Ps)

Paramedics are the industry standard for prehospital care, both here in the US and around the World. Paramedics are found on ambulances, fire depts, rescue teams, and hospital emergency rooms. They are considered a lower level than Nurses but provide many advanced and specialized field rescue skills. They provide a full selection of trauma IV medication. The training averages 1,200 to 1,600 hours of training to complete and usually requires 6-12 months of field experience as an EMT to begin the training. 

• Didactic (Classroom): Lectures and labs.
• Clinical Rotations: Time in hospital settings like the ER, ICU, psychiatric,  and/or NICU.
• Field Internships: Supervised experience on ambulances.100-200 hours 

Within Paramedics, you will find specialized training, including tactical medic (dealing with SWAT etc.) Wilderness Paramedic, Community Paramedic (providing rotational care to identified patients to reduce “frequent flyer” transports) All these medic programs are based upon community and state requirements and are not available in every state.
