EMT Training

EMT Training Overview

Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) hold advanced skills in the treatment of pre-hospital care. These healthcare professionals devote their work to medical emergencies and patient treatment. EMTs respond to both emergency and non-emergency calls with patient transportation through an ambulance. The fundamental responsibility of an EMT is to transport and care for the medically ill or traumatically injured.
