DUEMS treats patients at the Basic Life Support Level; specifically at the level of training for North Carolina State Emergency Medical Technician-Basics. All members of DUEMS are credentialed as EMT-Basics at minimum, with some members having additional training as EMT-Intermediates or EMT-Paramedics. All members complete an extensive Cadet Program when joining the squad which requires new members to demonstrate proficiency at managing a wide variety of EMS calls, driving ability, and knowledge of DUEMS Operating Procedures and scene management. Currently, our squad consists of 15 EMT-Basics, 8 EMT-Intermediates, and 2 EMT-Paramedics, with many members pursuing more advanced certification levels throughout the year. All DUEMS members attend monthly continuing education classes and complete annual skills evaluations to maintain proficiency.
