Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Course
An emergency medical technician (EMT) is a health professional whose primary focus is to respond to, assess and triage emergent, urgent and non-urgent requests for medical care, and to apply basic knowledge and skills necessary to provide patient care and medical transportation to/from an emergency or health care facility. EMT’s may serve as a patient care team member in a hospital or health care setting to the full extent of their education and licensure. EMT’s may provide minimal supervision of lower-level personnel. EMT’s can be the first to arrive on scene; they are expected to quickly assess patient conditions, provide stabilizing measures and request additional resources as needed.
