About this app

OnScene: EMT-Basic is a focused study companion for the NREMT EMT cognitive certification — designed to take you from your first scene size-up to the exam with confidence.

What's covered:
All 11 NREMT content domains — EMS Systems & Operations, Medical-Legal & Ethical Issues, Anatomy & Physiology, Life Span Development, Pharmacology, Airway/Respiration/Ventilation, Patient Assessment, Shock & Resuscitation, Medical Emergencies, Trauma, and Special Patient Populations.

Why it works:
• 450 scenario-based questions weighted to the NREMT 5-domain blueprint (Primary Assessment heavy, Operations light — like the real exam).
• 140 spaced-repetition flashcards covering drug indications and doses, age-banded vital signs, and the 2025 AHA CPR/ECC algorithms.
• A 60-question full practice exam that samples from the entire pool just like the CAT.
• Every answer cites a primary source — NREMT Examination Specifications, NHTSA EMS Education Standards, NHTSA Scope of Practice Model, or the 2025 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC.

Freemium: the first unit (EMS Systems, Safety & Operations) and a slice of flashcards are free. Unlock every topic, all 140 flashcards, and the full 60-question practice exam for one $14.99 purchase — no subscription.
