Class Schedule

Advanced Medical Life Support (AMLS) remains 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.

In the FORTH edition of AMLS, 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.  This fast-paced course emphasizes the use of scene size-up, first impression, history, interactive group discussion on differential diagnosis and potential treatment strategies, and physical exam to systematically rule out and consider possibilities and probabilities in treating patients’ medical crises. The FORTH edition AMLS library of patient simulations offers students an opportunity to apply critical thinking skills to a variety of patient presentations. Additional features include patient simulation monitor images and ECGs provided by iSimulate, to enhance students’ experience.

The course utilizes the AMLS textbook and course manual, and covers the following topics:

• Respiratory disorders
• Cardiovascular disorders
• Shock
• Sepsis
• Infectious disease
• Neurological disorders
• Mental health disorders
• Abdominal disorders
• Endocrine/Metabolic disorders
• Women''s health emergencies
• Environmental emergencies
• Toxicological emergencies

AMLS is appropriate for EMTs, paramedics, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurse anesthetists and physicians. AMLS is accredited by CAPCE for 16 hours of CE and recognized by NREMT.

The Northern Berkshire EMS Club is looking for a few new members!

If you are entering 6-10^th grade in the fall of 2023 and are interested in EMS, Public Safety, Community Service, and working, learning, and having some fun with like-minded students, we may be the Club for you!

We meet on most Monday nights from 6-8pm during the school year, with occasional weekend activities.  We take field trips, join in community service activities, hold a fund raiser or two, and run a Summer Safety Camp for 1-4^th graders in July.

We ask that you be respectful and responsible as you are meeting in a place of business and, at times, will be interacting with the public.  Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.

Spaces are limited, so we are asking for you to be committed for the full year.

 If you have questions, call (413)662-8034 and leave a message with your name, interest, and contact number.
