EMT Advance
Southwest Mississippi Community College - Summit

About This Program
Advanced EMTSkills gained through this training program will enable them to significantly increase their level of patient care. AEMT's provide the same services as an EMT plus administer fluids and some medications and use the advanced medical equipment carried in the ambulance. The major difference is the ability to perform limited advanced skills and provide pharmacological interventions to emergency patients. AEMT is the minimum licensure level to provide limited advanced care to patients at the scene or during transportation. The scope of practice model is limited to lower risk. These high-benefit advanced skills are effective and can be performed safely in an out-of-hospital setting with medical oversight and limited training.
