HLTK 1506 - Advanced Medical Life Support

Credits: 1
Advanced Medical Life Support (AMLS) is the gold standard of education for emergency medical assessment and treatment. Endorsed by the National Association of EMS Physicians, AMLS emphasizes the use of the AMLS Assessment Pathway, a systematic tool for assessing and managing common medical conditions with urgent accuracy. Students learn to recognize and manage common medical crises through realistic case-based scenarios that challenge students to apply their knowledge to highly critical patients. The course emphasizes the use of scene size-up, history, interactive group discussion on potential treatment strategies, and physical exam to systematically rule out and consider possibilities and probabilities in treating patients’ medical crises. AMLS is appropriate for EMT’s, paramedics, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurse anesthetists and -physicians. AMLS is accredited by CAPCE and recognized by NREMT. Provider Course: 16-hour course for EMT’s, paramedics, nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and physicians. Upon successful completion of the course, students receive a certificate of completion, a wallet card recognizing them as AMLS providers for 4 years, and 16 hours of CAPCE credit.
