Topics for the Advanced EMT provides both an overview of new information contained within the Education Standards at the AEMT level and a source of continuing education for practicing AEMTs.

The text integrates new “topics” that were not contained in the prior curricula and previous “topics” that are presented at a much greater depth and breadth.

As an EMT or AEMT, being educated and trained under the new Education Standards will provide you with a much greater foundation of knowledge for practicing pre-hospital care.
