Advanced Emergency Medical Technician

What you'll learn

This is the second of two courses preparing students for volunteer or career opportunities as an Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT). The course provides builds upon the knowledge and clinical skills gained in HED 180 and prepares them for entry-level positions as an AEMT. It follows the National Emergency Medical Services Education Standards, adopted by New York State for Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians, and prepares students to provide basic emergency medical care and transportation for critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical system. In addition to the didactic component, there is an extensive clinical experience as part of the course.
