The
Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course prepares individuals to provide
emergency medical care and transportation to critical and emergent patients who
access the EMS system. EMTs possess the fundamental knowledge and skills
necessary to stabilize and safely transport patients, ranging from
non-emergency and routine medical transports to life-threatening emergencies.
They function as integral members of a comprehensive EMS response system,
operating under medical oversight. EMTs perform interventions using the basic
equipment typically found on an ambulance, serving as a vital connection
between emergency scenes and the healthcare system.
