Prehospital Emergency Pharmacology is a comprehensive guide to the most common medications and fluids used by Paramedics and other Emergency Medical Service (EMS) professionals in prehospital emergency care. A valuable aid to both practicing Paramedics and Paramedic students, it presents care procedures that represent accepted practices throughout the U.S. and Canada, as well as up-to-date medication dosages according to nationally accepted standards, including those of the AMA, AHA, and PDR.

Available as either a classroom or online course, students will receive the same information, testing, and CEUs.

This course has been approved by the Georgia Office of EMS and Trauma for 24 hours of continuing education.

We will be using the eigth edition text from Brady Books. To order, go to www.bradybooks.com.

Tuition for this course will be $350.

NAEMT’s Advanced Medical Life Support (AMLS) course is the first EMS education program that fully addresses how to best assess and manage the most common medical crises in patients, offering a "think outside the box" methodology.  It is for all levels of practitioners with a strong commitment to patient care, including Emergency Medical Technicians, Paramedics, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Nurse Anesthetists, and Physicians.

The course emphasizes the use of scene size-up, history, interactive group discussion on potential treatment strategies, and physical exam to systematically rule out and consider possibilities and probabilities in treating patients’ medical crises. The course offers an initial assessment-based approach that progresses to a diagnostic-based approach to quickly develop the best treatment plan. 

The initial AMLS course is a 16-hour, two-day program that consists of interactive lectures, teaching and evaluation stations. The interactive/case-based lectures include the following topics: altered mental status and neurologic disorders, respiratory dysfunction, shock, chest discomfort, endocrine, metabolic and environmental disorders, abdominal discomfort, infectious disease, and toxicologic emergencies, hazardous materials and weapons of mass destruction. Teaching stations follow the associated lectures each day. 

AMLS is endorsed by the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP). It is accredited by the Continuing Education Coordinating Board for Emergency Medical Services (CECBEMS) and is recognized by the National Registry of EMTs (NREMT). Students who successfully complete the AMLS course will receive a certificate of completion that is valid for four years.  

Tuition for the initial 2-day course is $150.

Tuition for the 1-day refresher course is $75.

The textbook required for this course may be purchased at JB Learning.

NAEMT's Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) is recognized around the world as the leading continuing education program for prehospital emergency trauma care. The mission of PHTLS is to promote excellence in trauma patient management by all providers involved in the delivery of prehospital care through global education. PHTLS is developed by NAEMT in cooperation with the American College of Surgeons' Committee on Trauma. The Committee provides the medical direction and content oversight for the PHTLS program.

PHTLS courses improve the quality of trauma care in your area and decrease mortality. The program is based on a prehospital trauma care philosophy, stressing the treatment of the multi-system trauma patient as a unique entity with specific needs. This may require an approach to the trauma patient that varies from traditional treatment modalities. PHTLS promotes critical thinking as the foundation for providing quality care. It is based on the belief that, given a good fund of knowledge and key principles, EMS practitioners are capable of making reasoned decisions regarding patient care. The PHTLS course is continuously updated and revised to keep up with the advances in the field, ATLS Guidelines, and feedback from PHTLS participants.

Tuition for the initial 2-day course is $150.

Tuition for the 1-day refresher course is $75.

NAEMT's Emergency Pediatric Care (EPC) course focuses on the care of sick and injured children, addressing a full spectrum of emergency illnesses, injuries, and scenarios that an EMS practitioner might encounter. The course provides an in-depth understanding of the pathophysiology of the most common pediatric emergency issues and stresses critical thinking skills to help practitioners make the best decisions for their patients.

EPC uses the pediatric assessment triangle (PAT) as a tool to help EMS practitioners rapidly and accurately assess pediatric patients and incorporates family-centered care throughout all scenarios. Training encompasses lectures, hands-on skills practice, and small group critical thinking discussions.

Topics include understanding kids; airway, breathing and oxygenation; cardiac emergencies; child abuse and neglect; common medical emergencies; the importance of family; hypoperfusion and shock; newborn resuscitation; pediatric trauma; and special health care needs.

EPC is for all Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics committed to providing quality care for pediatric patients. Flexible course formats fit the continuing education needs of all EMS practitioners: traditional two-day face-to-face provider course, an accelerated two-day provider-instructor course, and a hybrid course that combines eight hours of online training followed by one day of on-site interactive stations. This modular course format can fulfill the pediatric clinical and educational needs of an EMS agency while minimizing budgetary and logistical impacts.

Tuition for the initial 2-day course is $150.   

Tuition for the 1-day refresher course is $75.
