PHTLS courses improve the quality of trauma care and decrease mortality. The program is based on a philosophy stressing the treatment of the multi-system trauma patient as a unique entity with specific needs. 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 course utilizes the internationally recognized PHTLS textbook and covers the following topics: Course Covers:

• Physiology of life and death • Scene assessment • Patient assessment • Airway • Breathing, ventilation and oxygenation • Circulation, hemorrhage and shock • Patients with disabilities • Patient simulations

Advanced Medical Life Support (AMLS) Advanced Medical Life Support (AMLS) is the gold standard of education for emergency medical assessment and treatment. Endorsed by the National Association of EMS Physicians, AMLS emphasizes the use of the AMLS Assessment Pathway, a systematic tool for assessing and managing common medical conditions with urgent accuracy. Students learn to recognize and manage common medical crises through realistic case-based scenarios that challenge students to apply their knowledge to highly critical patients.  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. Course Covers:

• Respiratory disorders • Cardiovascular disorders • Shock • Altered mental status • Neurological disorders • Endocrine/Metabolic disorders • Environmental emergencies • Infectious disease • Abdominal disorders • Toxicological emergencies • Exposure to hazardous materials
