Course Description
The Emergency Medical Technician - Intermediate (EMT-I) is qualified in advanced emergency care by a competency-based training program of didactic, clinical, and a field internship. Competencies include but are not limited to the recognition, assessment, and management of medical emergencies. The EMT-Intermediate primarily provides prehospital emergency care to acutely ill or injured patients. The EMT-I level has as its base the basic EMT program and has proven clinical skills and knowledge to support the skills in addition to the basic program. This level does not conflict or compete with the EMT-Paramedic level; it is another level that exists as a result of different skills being emphasized.
