Advanced Medical Life Support takes a practical approach to assessing and treating adult medical emergencies. In most primary training programs, a significant amount of time and effort is spent on drilling students in the knowledge of cardiac and respiratory emergencies. However, any field provider realizes that these types of emergencies are vastly outnumbered by the myriad of medical complaints encountered in the field. This is where AMLS comes into play, focusing on abdominal & chest pain, altered mental status, shock, and dyspnea etilogies. The AMLS course provides the necessary tools to enable practitioners to better differentiate the underlying conditions of ill patients. Emphasis is placed on history taking and the physical examination skills necessary to obtain critical information from vague medical complaints.
