What is the difference between an emt and an emt b?
EMT, or Emergency Medical Technician, is the blanket term. There
are several levels of EMTs. The nationally accepted levels are as
follows: EMT-Basic, EMT-Intermediate (85), EMT-Basic Advanced,
EMT-Intermediate (99), EMT-Paramedic. You often hear about
"Paramedics" as though everyone on an ambulance is a Paramedic, but
in reality, EMT-Bs are the most common responders. EMT's will
respond out of a station or a fire department, and they typically
cover a much smaller area. EMT-Paramedics might respond to more
rural areas from farther away, depending on the local and financial
availability of Paramedics within an area.
