Advanced Emergency Medical Technician is designed for students wishing to expand their career in Emergency Medical Services with the ability to initiate intravenous therapy and limited pharmacology. This course qualifies students to work or volunteer as an Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT) for a fire department, ambulance service or in private industry.
AEMT is taught as a block course consisting of EMS 155 and 156 (corequisites). Students who wish to enroll in these courses must submit a program application. Students who did not take EMT at JSCC for credit must also complete an application to the college and submit transcripts from previously attended schools. Information and Admission packets are available by contacting Beth Ray at (205) 983-5225.
All students successfully completing the AEMT course will have the opportunity to take the National Registry of EMT’s Examination, which is used by the State of Alabama Department of Public Health to grant an AEMT license. To be awarded the certificate, the student should complete a graduation application.
