The Medway Fire Department is proud to be a certified ECSI (Emergency Care & Safety Institute) Training Center. We provide life-saving education to our community using curriculm developed by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS).
When you train with us, you are learning from the global gold standard in emergency medical care.
Why Choose AAOS Over Other Providers?
While many are familiar with the American Heart Association (AHA), Medway Fire Department utilizes the AAOS curriculum to provide a more comprehensive, trauma-informed training experience.
The Same Life-Saving Science: We follow the exact sam ILCOR/AHA Guidelines for CPR and AED use. You learn the same chest compressions and rescue breathing standards used by medical professionals worldwide.
Superior Trauma Training: While other programs focus largely on cardiac research, the AAOS consists of over 39,000 surgeons and specialists. Their curriculum offers deeper, more pratical instruction for bone, joint, and muscle injuries - the most common emergencies we see in the field.
The Original EMS Authority: The AAOS pioneered the first national EMT curriculum in 1971. By training with us, you are using materials authorized by the organization that literally "wrote the book" on emergency medical services.
Better Value for Medway: Our partnership allows us to offer nationally recognized certifications at a lower cost than many AHA-affilated centers, making it easier for local families and businesses to stay prepared.
