Complement ITLS Training with EMPACT
EMPACT - An Educational Program Focused on Diagnosing Medical Patients
Emergency Medical Patients: Assessment, Care and Transport (EMPACT) is a modular training program that emphasizes group discussion, case studies, and Socratic method to help new and veteran practitioners alike better understand and refine the differential diagnosis of the medical patient. Realistic imagery and facilitated learning form the basis for a supportive, low-stress environment to explore the depth of a medical complaint to the extent not previously seen in other medical assessment programs.
The course content is supported by Brady/Pearson Health Science's EMPACT textbook, written by the well-known EMS author team of Joseph Mistovich, Daniel Limmer, Alice "Twink" Dalton and Howard Werman, MD. This groundbreaking textbook explains in simple, yet effective ways of how pathophysiologic processes form the signs and symptoms of the disease.
The EMPACT Program has been accepted internationally. Currently we have Training Centers in Europe, North America, Latin America, Central America, South America, Australia and the Middle East. The course materials have been translated into 6 languages: English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Danish, English (European) with more in the pipeline to better serve international medical providers.
EMPACT is accepted by the National Registry of EMTs as part of the refresher process for recertification. All of the EMPACT Courses are approved for EMS Continuing Education by CMEDDS Holdings LLC an approved organization by the Commission on Accreditation of Pre-Hospital Continuing Education (CAPCE).
