Emergency Medical Technician Certificate - Advanced

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:

1. Demonstrate the ability to comprehend, apply, analyze, and evaluate information relevant to their role as an entry-level Advanced EMT (Cognitive).
2. Demonstrate technical proficiency in all skills necessary to fulfill the role as an entry-level Advanced EMT (Psychomotor).
3. Demonstrate personal behaviors consistent with professional and employer expectations for an entry-level Advanced EMT (Affective).

The Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (formerly EMT-Intermediate) certificate program builds on the basic knowledge of the EMT with additional training and skills. These courses may be taken by students wishing to gain additional medical skills, but not necessarily wishing to pursue training as a paramedic. Field experience in EMS is strongly encouraged between EMT certification and entry into the AEMT program. AEMT is a required prerequisite to the paramedic program and is strongly recommended for students with limited field experience. The program is designed to meet the US DOT National Standard Curriculum for EMT-Intermediate (1985), the EMS Education Standards for Advanced Emergency Medical Technician, and the NM EMS training standards.
