Gyeonggi-do Fire Academy Launches Nation's First 'Emergency Medical Technician Specialist Training Course'

Gyeonggi-do Fire Academy has become the first among local fire academies nationwide to establish an 'Emergency Medical Technician Specialist Training Course' and is set to train specialized personnel for emergency medical education.

This course goes beyond simply acquiring basic first aid skills; it has been designed to foster emergency medical education specialists who can systematically deliver field experience and professional knowledge.

To address the limitations of previous emergency medical education programs—which were largely based on individual experience and resulted in inconsistencies in teaching methods and delivery—this new course focuses on nurturing emergency medical instructors equipped with both professional teaching techniques and lecturing competencies.

The training will be conducted for two weeks, from May 11 to May 22, targeting fire officials in the province.

The core curriculum consists of practical, job-focused programs that can be immediately applied in the field, including adult learning theory and teaching methods, simulation-based practical training, development of educational scenarios for various emergency situations, and lecture evaluation and feedback.

Through this course, Gyeonggi-do Fire Academy plans to systematically develop emergency medical instructors with both real-world experience and professional teaching capabilities, laying the foundation to enhance the quality of emergency medical services in the province and to standardize educational practices.

Lee Sangtae, Acting Principal of Gyeonggi-do Fire Academy, stated, "The quality of emergency medical education is ultimately linked to survival rates in the field. By fostering professional instructors who can effectively convey field experience, we will create a more trusted emergency medical service system."
