EMT 12BURLINGTON, MASS. –Jones & Bartlett Learning Public Safety Group, a division of Ascend Learning, announced the release of the 12th edition of Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured, 50 years after the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) published the first edition in 1971. Since that time, the textbook has helped transform how EMS education is delivered throughout the world and helped train millions of world-class EMS providers.

In 1997, the AAOS partnered with Jones & Bartlett Publishers (now Jones & Bartlett Learning) to release Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured, Sixth Edition. Since the publication of that edition, these organizations have worked together to create teaching and learning systems that combine superior medical content with market leading technology solutions and online courseware to transform all levels of EMS training.

“On behalf of the Jones & Bartlett Learning Public Safety Group and Ascend Learning, we’re honored to help celebrate 50 years of excellence from our valued partner—the AAOS,” said Tim McClinton, President of Professional Education, Ascend Learning. “Day in and day out, this textbook helps improve the quality of emergency medical care in the United States and abroad; it’s inspiring to think of how many lives have been impacted over the years.”

“It’s an honor to publish a text that is so well-respected that it has become the gold standard in its field,” said Anna Salt Troise, chief commercial officer, AAOS. “In today’s multi-disciplinary approach to healthcare, influential texts like Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured, are essential for EMS providers of all levels.”

Far more than just a textbook, the 12th edition is supported by an array of innovative and flexible course delivery tools, from foundational resources that prepare students for certification, to comprehensive education solutions that facilitate student engagement and virtual learning.
