Getting Cadets Excited About VR/AR EMT Training!

Embracing Competitiveness Between Peers!

AR/VR training has been a revolutionary new way for emergency medical technicians to test themselves in fire departments across the land.

This is more than a certification exam. They are able to compare their scores with one another and find out if they’re doing well or not as opposed to traditional methods which would leave them unsure of how they’re really performing.

AR/VR is like playing an exciting game where you can see your character’s progress, so it naturally draws people in; especially when each “level” gets more challenging!

Using VR/AR To Improve The Quality Of EMT Education:

With innovative technology like this at your fingertips, there has never been a better opportunity for providing your EMTs with the best possible skills education they need to serve effectively on our behalf.

VR training is a new experience that EMT cadets can partake in to advance their paramedic education! It’s a much more stimulating education versus your average lectures and EMT courses.

The EMT cadets were able to respond faster and more accurately during the simulation training. This is because they had no time constraints when it came to repeating a scenario instead of those who only did AR/VR training.

It was also found that their memory recall soared after completing this type of training too!  They had 45% more memory recall than the traditional group, and they were 30% faster.

Looking To The Future Of Being An Emergency Medical Technician:

Like we’ve talked about, VR/AR training is a new innovative way of emergency medical services training. With the growth of the VR industry, the potential for augmented and virtual reality is growing quickly in helping to become an EMT.

As the technology level increases, the potential to change paramedic programs increases. With VR/AR training being so customizable the sky is the limit! Simulations can be customized to suit the knowledge requirements of any regular EMT course.

There is potential for things like partner programs, and with the capability to track data so closely, VR could be a large part of EMT basic certification. As technology advances so will the quality of VR training programs for paramedic courses and EMT certification, and with this trend, we believe that VR training has the potential to become a common experience offered by EMT schools.

Not only should EMT students be excited but so should those training them to become an emergency medical technician!

How can you ensure your team members are ready for any situation? And how do you know if they’ve retained what they learned?

At Augmented Training Systems, we created an interactive online platform called the ATS HERO platform that allows EMT cadets to learn at their own pace while providing immediate feedback on each skill and knowledge topic via this platform to EMT commanders.

Our platform also includes a standardized analysis which provides key performance indicators so EMT training leads can easily monitor each member’s progress throughout the AR/VR course. The best part is that our platform offers the types of emergency incident training that is typically very difficult to schedule, manage and measure — from level of real-life experience to stress introduction — thereby making it possible to train anywhere, anytime with anyone to ensure each EMT cadet and team is mission-ready as an emergency responder!

Learn more about how your team can train virtually for a Mass Casualty Incident to prepare, gain confidence at a fraction of the cost of traditional MCI training as part of the path to become an EMT.

The current EMT training model is outdated; there is a better and more exciting way to measure the knowledge and skills of EMT cadets.

We are changing the training for the path to become an EMT. Our simulation-based learning platform helps you train your team for many situations in a fun way. You can even build a custom EMT course scenario based on your own protocols or use one from our growing library to prepare for mass casualty incidents, natural disasters, active shooter situations, etc.

To help you monitor each member’s progress we created an individual profile page where you can track their scores as they progress through the scenarios. Our online simulation tool teaches critical thinking and problem solving skills by enabling each EMT cadet to repeat numerous times and modify difficulty level in different scenarios—from EMT basic life support all the way up to mass casualty incident management.

In the future, expect a new kind of EMT certification program. One that goes far beyond any EMT basic course.

It will also allow emergency services units to better evaluate their personnel during initial start of training and ongoing attempts up to baseline metrics ensuring readiness at all times when lives are on the line! Try adding virtual reality training into your EMT training strategy and modernize your organizations path to become an EMT.
