    This is a great introduction to the Coursera Specialization where it belongs, providing fundamental information and principles on the roles, responsibilities, legal considerations and baseline "clinical" toolkit related to EMT work. Even as a medical student, I obtained fresh ideas and a different perspective in acute-care medicine from the material. The EMT system described can also be a starting point to make progress for people from other countries with weak to non-existent EMT processes and for emergency medicine-related research. I am looking forward to finish the Specialization.

    Excellent introductory course with clear, concise instruction. As a visual learner, I found the AI generated text to be very helpful to follow. However, I noticed some important errors in some of text (for example confusing hypertension with hypotension). Highly recommend manually reviewing and updating text.

    Taking this course turned out to be more enlightening and interesting than I anticipated. Every topic was taught with so much details and I really appreciate the efforts of the tutors who simplified everything. The lecture notes also were very comprehensible. I'm glad I took the course. Thank you.

    An excellent course with great instructors! I enjoyed the presentations which were easily understandable! The full spectrum of 'basics' seems to have been covered with more advanced training on the same topics in future courses of the specialization, I believe. "Wow, I learned a lot!"

    I found t extremely user friendly the video cips of 4 - 8 minutes are just the right length.

    Though I must qualify this statement by stating that for me this is a refresher of knowledge learnt as a first responder with St John Ambulance
