What is an EMT?

EMT stands for Emergency Medical Technician and is a term mainly used in American Ambulance Services or Fire Services to represent Paramedics who have completed training up to a certain level, but not has high as a fully qualified Paramedic. Depending on which state you work for or whether or not you work for a public or private Ambulance Service, most Ambulances use one EMT with one Paramedic. However, in some areas, they use two Paramedics together. With Fire services, often all Fire Personnel are trained up to the level of EMT, and one person is trained to the level of Paramedic.
