A national registry examination is required for certification. Students must be 17 years old to test for certification and have no felonies on record.
Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT)
The Advanced EMT has more advanced training in IV therapy, subcutaneous injections, and administration of pre-approved medications. An AEMT’s primary function in the rural area is to enhance the level of care. The AEMT may also augment paramedics in larger advanced life-support ambulance services. Students must be a Certified Kansas Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). Students must be 17 years old to test for certification and have no felonies on record.
