EMS providers a stepping-stone between the two levels of

situations. Like Paramedics and EMTs, they typically work in
the emergency care setting such as an ambulance service, fire
department, air medical transport or in the hospital setting.
This course is designed to prepare you with more than an
advanced understanding of emergency medicine compared
to the EMT. AEMTs are accountable for everything that an
EMT performs, along with more specialized life-saving skills.
These classes are designed to review and update to current standards the EMS perspective of pre-hospital patient
emergency medical care. First responders, EMT basic, intermediate and paramedic professionals will work together
in the classroom environment. Topics include multilevel
patient assessment, adjunct/equipment use, interventions,
packaging and transport. Each participant will work within
the parameters of his or her licensure to provide total patient care. Lectures and class discussions will be reinforced
