Emergency Medicine

 

Emergency medical technicians (EMT) respond to medical emergencies in the field and provide immediate care to the critically ill or injured. There are two basic categories of employment: EMT basic and EMT paramedic.

These emergency workers are usually the first medical care providers on the scene of an accident. EMTs stabilize and monitor patients in specifically equipped vehicles while in route to a medical facility, where they give a detailed account of the patient’s status.
