Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)

An Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) is a highly trained healthcare professional who provides immediate, life-saving medical care in emergency situations. EMTs are first responders who assess patients, perform essential medical procedures, and stabilize individuals experiencing medical crises or trauma before they reach a hospital or higher level of care.


EMTs operate in high-pressure environments, working alongside paramedics, firefighters, police officers, and hospital personnel to deliver pre-hospital care. Their responsibilities typically include:


  • Assessing patient conditions and determining the appropriate course of action.
  • Administering basic life support (BLS), including CPR, oxygen therapy, and airway management.
  • Providing trauma care, such as controlling bleeding, immobilizing fractures, and treating shock.
  • Utilizing emergency medical equipment, including defibrillators, splints, and stretchers.
  • Transporting patients safely to medical facilities via ambulance.
  • Communicating effectively with emergency dispatch, hospital staff, and other first responders.


EMTs are an essential part of the emergency medical services (EMS) system, ensuring that patients receive rapid and efficient medical care during critical moments. They complete state-approved training programs, obtain certification through the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) or state agencies, and continuously update their skills to meet evolving medical and safety standards.


An EMT's quick thinking, technical expertise, and commitment to patient care make them invaluable in safeguarding public health and saving lives.
