Today, the AAOS’s commitment and dedication to excellence has transformed how EMS education is delivered throughout the world and helped develop and train countless world-class EMS providers. In 1997, the AAOS partnered with Jones & Bartlett Publishers (JB Learning) to release Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured, Revised Sixth Edition. Since the publication of that edition, the AAOS and JB Learning have worked together to transform all levels of EMS training, from emergency medical responder to paramedic. Our partnership has resulted in market-leading resources that go beyond initial training into assessment, continuing education, and professional resources to support EMS providers through every step of their education and career. Today, the AAOS suite of EMS educational resources, from first aid and CPR to critical care transport, are the gold standard in training programs with exceptional content and instructional resources that meet the diverse needs of today’s educators and students. JB Learning is proud and honored to congratulate our esteemed partner, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, on the 45th anniversary of their first publication of the Orange Book.
