AEMT Practical Exam Revised
In keeping with a trend of adopting the National Registry Practical Skills Exam Sheets, New York State Department of Health has released a revised set of Practical Exam sheets for all AEMT courses testing on or after July 19, 2018. The newest exam sheets can be found on the Bureau's website here. Of note, some National Registry sheets are currently labeled as "draft," and these are acceptable for use.
