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.

What is the difference between emt and paramedic?
Let's break this down to the US version. There's are 3 levels of pre-hospital care in the US. The EMT system in the US is changing, it used to be: EMT-B(Basic), EMT-I(Intermediate) and EMT-P(Paramedic). This system is changing in most states to EMR, EMT, and EMT-P. The EMT is the mid level of pre-hospital care. This level usually requires about a year to a year and a half of college education and training. An EMT-I(EMT) can do some more advanced skills then the EMT-B(EMR) such as basic cardiac monitoring, cricothyrotomy and more medications. ALL levels of pre-hospital care are considered EMTs, but only the EMT-P is a Paramedic. The Paramedic is the most advanced level of EMT and requires about 2 years or college education and training. The Paramedic may do everything the EMT can do plus intubation, 12 lead ECG, administer 20 medications(depends on protocol) and more. Paramedics are Advanced Life Support(ALS) providers, the EMT-B is Basic Life Support(BLS) and the EMT-I is sort of a mix. Hopefully this helped answer your question. It's OK to call a Paramedic an EMT but you can't call a EMT a Paramedic.
