About the program

What is an emergency room technician?


An emergency room technician is an individual who assists and supports emergency room nurses and doctors in the performance of procedures in the emergency or urgent care department in providing health care to patients.

  • Apply their skills, knowledge and capabilities in the emergency room practice.
  • Assist doctors and nurses in the assessment and emergency care of patients.
  • Provide competent support to the emergency room department by performing clinical procedures with skill and efficiency.
  • Demonstrate responsibility and critical thinking in their chosen fields of expertise.
