The A-EMT course will provide the student with training for management of pre-hospital hemorrhage and shock with emphasis on a comprehensive assessment. This course will also provide the student the opportunity to apply past and current cognitive knowledge and psycho motor skills in a supervised clinical or field setting.
This course is strong in developing an understanding the Pathophysiology of the human body and pharmacology of selected medications and is designed to prepare students with more than an advance understanding of emergency medicine compared to the EMT. AEMTs are accountable for everything that an EMT-Basic performs along with more specialized life saving skills. Although not trained to the level of a Paramedic, AEMTs are able to provide more advanced care by utilizing specialized training such as intravenous access, administration of emergency care medications and provide advanced airway procedures for patients needing such procedures as a part of their care.
At AEMS our paramedic instructors from UK and South Africa will help students master the skills and responsibilities that bridge the gap between and EMT-B and a Paramedic. AEMS incorporates simulated patients to provide realistic learning opportunities for students. We understand that students going through this course have the added knowledge and experience since many already work in the field as an EMT-B. We practice our skills not only in the classroom but outdoors and in replicated situations to get practical experience.
