The MedStar Citizen EMS Academy is an interactive forum for residents of the MedStar service area to learn about the functions and operation of MedStar and the practice of EMS.
The Citizen EMS Academy is a 6-week course (one night a week), that explores what it takes to provide high quality emergency medical service to more than 800,000 residents in Tarrant County. Participants will learn how 9-1-1 medical calls are triaged and dispatched, see demonstrations of equipment and procedures used by EMS crews in the field and be certified in CPR. 
The Academy also includes a “ride-along” with an ambulance crew.
Space is limited to eight students per Academy. There is no charge to attend. Participants must be at least 18 years old and live or work in the MedStar service area.
