The Ministry of Health and Consumption, the Andalusian Health Service, through the General Directorate of Personnel and the Andalusian Emergency Plan, and IAVANTE of the Progress and Health Foundation carry out a total of eight activities in 2025 included in a training program on the urgent treatment of patients at risk of vital importance. This activity on advanced medical life support, AMLS for its initials in English, is endorsed by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians of the United States (NAEMT) and is taught in healthcare centers and at the Advanced Clinical Simulation Center of IAVANTE.
The 36-hour course is aimed at Medicine and Nursing professionals specialized in Emergencies and Urgencies, who face intensive training through recreations of critical emergency care situations caused by respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, endocrine-metabolic, infectious, or toxicological pathologies, among others, through clinical simulation methodologies.
This model allows optimizing the learning process by reducing the training curve and increasing patient safety. Professionals acquire and reinforce their skills in the diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of critical patients in pre-hospital or emergency hospital settings, following European and international standards.
According to Paco Pepe Gómez, coordinator of the Programs area at IAVANTE, «This activity is a commitment from the Ministry of Health and Consumption to provide quality, certified, and accredited training, which allows participants to access a deep knowledge of the specific emergency care situations addressed.»
One of the remarkable aspects of this training is the composition of the teaching staff, made up of active professionals from the Andalusian Health Service, who bring their daily experience in managing patients in critical situations. This factor, combined with the use of clinical simulation, guarantees comprehensive learning where participants play a leading and active role.
This program is part of the Training Plan in Emergencies and Urgencies that the Andalusian Health Service offers to professionals in the Public Health System of Andalusia through IAVANTE, which will provide a hundred training activities to more than 2,000 professionals this year.
