The course is designed to allow for a minimal amount of lecture and ample actual hands-on physical assessment of the medical patient.

  The AMLS course is designed for the provider who is currently taking or has completed paramedic or other advanced-level training. Topics addressed include advanced assessment, airway management, oxygenation and ventilation, as well as venous access and medication administration.

  Topics addressed in a complaint-based, integrated approach to patient care include shock, dyspnea, chest pain, altered neurological status, acute abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, seizure and syncope.

  Students completing the course will receive 16 hours of continuing education in the area of patient assessment and medical emergency. The course is recognized for CECBEMS accreditation and National Registry recertification.

  Provider students must attend the entire course and pass the final skills evaluation and written exam to be eligible for a course completion certificate. Qualified participants may attend the Instructor Course, which will follow the Provider Course on Wednesday evening, October 10.
