Homewood High School is one of only two schools in the state of Alabama to offer students the opportunity to earn their Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) certification.
Through Head Athletic Trainer Greg Pendley’s Sports Medicine Anatomy and Athletic Training classes, students earn the EMR certification. The class is offered in partnership with Herzing University and Homewood Fire and Rescue.
Students learned tasks ranging from life-saving skills to assisting with many other medical emergencies. Students also participate in many hands-on labs, such as First Aid/CPR/AED, administering oxygen, placing a patient on a spine board and casting.
