EMT

Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) are an important part of the pre-hospital healthcare community. They work in various locations, from Emergency Medical Service (EMS) organizations to fire departments, industrial first aid teams, and special response teams. EMTs see patients at a critical time, during illness, or injury. They are caring people who provide pre-hospital care, comfort, and compassion at a Basic Life Support (BLS) level.

VS

Paramedic

Paramedics, in addition to possessing all the skills of an EMT, are trained in advanced cardiac monitoring, medication administration, IV therapy, trauma management, and advanced airway placement and control. Outside of the hospital setting, they are typically the highest level healthcare providers to respond to an emergency. Their leadership and expertise play a vital role in public healthcare and safety.
