The visually compelling charts and summaries can simplify the more complex principles and procedures you'll need to be familiar with as an EMALB licensed Emergency Medical Responder or First Responder operating in British Columbia. While most of the Medical Responder Cheat Sheet is based on information extrapolated from the Canadian Red Cross Emergency Care for Professional Responders, some of the information is based on the BC specific policies and guidelines stipulated by the British Columbia Emergency Medical Assistant's Licensing Board (BC EMALB) and BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS).
