NAEMT’s Geriatric Education for EMS (GEMS) 3d Edition course prepares prehospital practitioners to respond to, assess, and care for this fast-growing patient population.
The GEMS course helps EMS practitioners learn to conduct a comprehensive assessment of geriatric patients. Because the aging process affects all body systems, NAEMT’s course provides an overview of changes that occur as people age and describes how those changes can impact patient presentation. Incorporation of the GEMS Diamond (Geriatric, Environmental, Medical, and social assessments) can help practitioners formulate a holistic diagnostic and treatment approach.
