The Emergency Care and Safety Institute (ECSI) training program, affiliated with the American Academy of
Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). In 1971, the AAOS pioneered EMS education by
publishing Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured, the first EMS
training program available. Today, the AAOS ECSI programs continue that
dedication to future emergency responders and instructors.

practice management services for orthopaedic surgeons and allied health

Founded in 1933, the not-for-profit AAOS
has grown from a small organization serving less than 500 members to the
world’s largest medical association of musculoskeletal specialists. The AAOS

Physicians (ACEP) was founded in 1968 and is the world’s oldest and largest

Every ECSI textbook is the center of an integrated teaching and learning system
that offers instructor, student, and technology resources to better support
instructors and prepare students. The instructor supplements provide practical,
hands-on, timesaving tools like PowerPoint presentations, DVDs, and web-based
distance-learning resources.. And a key component to the teaching and learning
systems are technology resources that provide interactivities and simulations
to help students become great emergency responders. The ECSI is an educational
organization created for the purpose of delivering the highest quality training
to laypeople and professionals in the areas of first aid, CPR, AED, blood borne
pathogens, and related safety and health areas. The content of the training
materials used by the ECSI is approved by the AAOS and ACEP—two of the most
respected names in injury, illness, and emergency medical care.
Documents attesting to the ECSI’s
recognition of satisfactory course completion will be issued to those who
successfully meet the course objectives and criteria for passing the course.
Written acknowledgment of a participant’s successful course completion is
