EMS312 — Advanced Emergency Medical Technician
7 credits This course will provide training to individuals whose primary focus is to respond to, assess and triage non-urgent, urgent and emergent requests for medical care; apply basic and focused advanced knowledge and skills necessary to provide patient care and/or medical transportation; and facilitate access to a higher level of care when the needs of the patient exceed the capability level of the AEMT. The additional preparation beyond EMT prepares an AEMT to improve patient care in common emergency conditions for which reasonably safe, targeted and evidence-based interventions exist. This course will prepare Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians to be competent in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains to enter the profession.
