ADVANCED EMT PROGRAM
Cataldo Education Center is proud to be partnering with United Ambulance Service of Maine to offer an Advanced EMT (AEMT) Training Program. This program will be starting in August of 2021.
The primary focus of the Advanced Emergency Medical Technician is to provide basic and limited advanced emergency medical care and transportation for critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical system. This individual possesses the basic knowledge and skills necessary to provide patient care and transportation.
Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians function as part of a comprehensive EMS response, under medical oversight. Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians perform interventions with the basic and advanced equipment typically found on an ambulance.
The Advanced Emergency Medical Technician is a link from the scene to the emergency health care system.
