Advanced EMT

REMSA Health Advanced Emergency Medical Technician Course

The Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) is qualified in advanced emergency care by a competency-based training course of didactic, clinical, and a field internship. Competencies include but are not limited to the recognition, assessment, and management of medical and trauma emergencies. The Advanced EMT primarily provides pre-hospital emergency care to acutely ill or injured patients. An EMT certification is the basis for the AEMT course and demonstrates that the participant has clinical skills and knowledge to support the skills needed in the AEMT course. This level does not conflict or compete with the Paramedic level; it is another level that exists as a result of different skills being emphasized.

All prerequisites are due by the registration deadline which will be issued upon acceptance into the course.
