What is AMLS?

AMLS is a groundbreaking new direction toward advanced-level training and education in EMS. This curriculum has been carefully reviewed by the National Association of EMS Physicians and the National Associationof EMT. AMLS leads the way in the on-going education of Paramedics by teaching practical methods for treating adult medical emergencies. Each chapter in the course-text moves from assessment-based procedures to field diagnosisand management of treatable causes, offering realistic methods that seasoned EMS practitioners use.
