Universal Careers offers training course

Thousands of people will need some form of Emergency Medical Services over the course of a year. Many may be significant but minor injuries or problems such as broken bones or similar injuries. Others may be more intense, such as massive trauma and organ failure. These latter issues are of significant concern for all involved, including medical professionals and families of critical care patients.

Universal Careers, a premiere organization dedicated to training EMT/paramedics, is offering a Critical Care training program starting in February 2011. The program will discuss issues in critical care from all perspectives, including procedures and treatments available to EMS personnel, problems faced by medical centers and steps that families take when faced with critical care needs.

“This is a growing part of medicine and medical care,” said Kevin Simpson, program manager for Universal Careers. “Critical care emergencies pose a whole host of concerns and questions for families and health care professionals. It is important for EMT/paramedics to be informed and prepared for what could happen and the choices that some people and families make when faced with a major medical emergency such as organ failure or treatment related infections.”

Universal Careers has been training EMT/paramedics since 2005. Students are taught by experienced paramedics who instruct students using up to date methods and equipment both in and out of classroom settings. Graduates of Universal Careers are able to certify in all 50 states and work in a variety of health care professions.

Individuals interested in the program at Universal Careers or wishing to become a certified EMT/paramedic should call (213) 290-4682 or visit the web site at www.universalcareers.org for more information.
