Jones & Bartlett Learning Public Safety Group, a division of Ascend Learning, announced April 2 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. The 12th edition features the most comprehensive suite of instructional materials yet to ensure complete coverage of standards and science and provide needed information on career readiness, critical thinking, and mental health.
