ADVANCED EMT COURSE IN DAVAO CITY ON MARCH 2015

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.

All AREMT accredited training centers reserve the right to RE-ASSESS and RE-CERTIFY any PSEMT /LSTI EMT seeking international or local career opportunities that require AREMT registration. This is based on noted allegations from Mr Tasker Lynch himself regarding fraudulent issuances

It is with sincere regret that until these claims have indeed been rectified officially and official notice received, AREMT TC`s will be unable to accept PSEMT/LSTI EMT’s for normal certification. 

Kindly direct your attention to the official communication (dated June 13, 2014) received from Health and Care Professions Council UK confirming PSEMT Executive Director Aidan Tasker-Lynch and LSTI Director Joan Z. Tasker-Lynch, have no records as Paramedics and the “MIS USE” of the title “Paramedic” which is a protected title in the UK. 

Official advice from AREMT Head Office in Australia was received yesterday, 15 June 2014, stating effective immediately ALL PSEMT and LSTI Certificates bearing the signatures of PSEMT Executive Director Aidan E. Tasker-Lynch and LSTI Training Director Joan. Z. Tasker Lynch are too be considered NULL & VOID and will no longer be honored.

Fraud, false claims, misrepresentation and falsification of documents in EMS are a matter of public concern related to : 

• Grave breach of public trust resulting from fraud and deceptive practices; 

• Concern for the general public’s safety and welfare arising from malpractice due to possible tainted EMS trainings from the direction and supervision of LSTI Training Director Joan Z. Tasker-Lynch. 

• Grave breach and violation of EMS Code of Ethics pertaining to international standards which international placed Filipino EMT`s must adhere to.

Humility and Leadership

Wikipedia's definition of the word Humility is variously seen as the act or posture of lowering oneself in relation to others, or conversely, having a clear perspective, and therefore respect, for one's place in context. 

While many people immediately conjure-up an image of the ever so confident, bombastic extrovert without an ounce of humility as the picture of what constitutes a real leader, nothing could be further from the truth.  I remember what my former boss always say "Those who talk the most usually have the least to say.” While feigned humility is the height of insincerity, authentic humility is the most sincere form of confidence and strength. 

Leaders need to understand that being authentically humble humanizes them, allows them to build stronger trust bonds, and engenders confidence and loyalty from peers and subordinates alike.

It’s been said that life is a long lesson in humility. As a leader, the sooner you come to grips with your humility the better leader you’ll become. Over the years I have come to believe that “having class” is synonymous with demonstrating a penchant for humility over bravado. True leaders possess a quiet confidence that attracts attention like a magnet. It is the genuine nature of their subtle and  quiet charisma/presence, and not the decibel level of their rhetoric that draws you in. 

True self-confidence is reflected in a person’s deeds and actions, and not in their ability to boast. One of the worst things a leader can do is to let their ego write checks their talent can’t cash…

Humility is actually the trait that magnifies all other positive attributes. Without humility all of a leader’s other strengths become diminished if not invisible. It’s been said that greatness lies not in trying to be somebody, but in trying to help somebody. Humility also happens to be the surest sign of authenticity in someone who claims to be a servant leader. Is it possible to be a leader without being humble? Sure it is…but it is much, much more difficult, rarely sustainable, and leaders who lack humility are always called into question with regard to motives and agendas.

When you think of a true leader, do you envision someone who displays a quiet confidence or a blatant arrogance?  While a reserved attitude of humility can often be misinterpreted as a sign of weakness, if you’ve ever negotiated with a truly confident person who is authentically humble, you’ll find that their resolve is often much greater than the feigned confidence of the arrogant. While hubris can be a needed trait to call upon at times, to rely solely upon it as the foundation of your leadership style just doesn’t work. It was C.S. Lewis who said: “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but rather thinking about yourself less.” Simply put, humble leaders recognize and value the contributions of others in lieu of self-promotion.

The truth of the matter is that few things have inspired and motivated me over the years like the quiet confidence and humility of great leaders. I would much rather listen to the self-deprecating humor of a confident person making fun of themselves than the mean spirited attacks of an arrogant person waged at someone else’s expense. More importantly, I would much rather work for, or along side of, the understated than the overstated. Those professionals who have self respect, and demonstrate a true respect for others regardless of their station in life, are much more likely to be successful over the long-term than those who use the tactics of disrespect to humiliate and intimidate.

Contrary to popular folklore, it’s important to note that nice guys and gals don’t finish last. Leaders who display authentic humility have broader spheres of influence, attract better talent, engender more confidence, and earn more loyalty and respect than do those leaders who rely solely upon their chutzpa and their ability to brandish their bravado. If what you’re seeking is lasting relationships, long-term success, and a better quality of life (in and out of the workplace) then you’ll be well served to forgo the pompous acts of the arrogant, and substitute the humility and quiet confidence displayed by true leaders.
