The training in detail
What tasks do emergency paramedics have?
Emergency paramedics have the highest level of non-medical training in emergency medicine in the whole of Germany. They are alerted to unforeseeable emergencies in the urban area and stabilize the health of patients at the scene so that they can be transported safely and reliably to a suitable hospital. In doing so, they have a leadership responsibility in teamwork and specify the measures to be taken.
How long does the training last and where does it take place?
The training usually lasts three years. School lessons take place at the rescue service school in Aachen. The work placements at the fire and rescue stations take place at the Aachen professional fire department and the clinical placements take place in the hospitals of the city of Aachen and the surrounding area.
