Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)

The Emergency Medical Technician represents the first component of the Emergency Medical Services system.
An EMT is trained to care for patients at the scene of an accident or illness and while transporting patients by ambulance to the hospital. The EMT has the emergency skills to assess a patient’s condition and manage medical and trauma emergencies. Fire personnel and other emergency teams may also be trained to this level. A national registry examination is required for certification. Students must be 17 years old to test for certification and have no felonies on record.
