As described above, many jurisdictions have different levels of paramedic training, leading to variations in what procedures different paramedics may perform depending upon their qualifications. Three common general divisions of paramedic training are the basic technician, general paramedic or advanced technician, and advanced paramedic.
An emergency medical technician (often, more simply, EMT) is a medical professional that provides emergency medical services. [1] [2] EMTs are most commonly found serving on ambulances and in fire departments in the US and Canada, as full-time and some part-time departments require their firefighters to at least be EMT certified.
EMS providers may also hold non-EMS credentials, including academic degrees. These are usually omitted unless they are related to the provider's job. For instance, a paramedic might not list an MBA, but a supervisor might choose to do so.
Continuing education courses can cover a variety of topics, provided that they cover relevant material, including college courses covering anatomy, physiology, or psychology, to more applied courses that are either standardized, such as a Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS), or tailored to the needs of an individual EMS system or region.
