EMT (Emergency Medical Technician)

An Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) is a trained healthcare professional who provides urgent medical care in emergency situations. They respond to calls for help, assess patients' conditions, and administer basic medical treatments, such as CPR, wound care, and oxygen delivery. EMTs work in ambulances, hospitals, and at emergency scenes to stabilize patients and ensure they receive timely medical attention. They play a crucial role in the healthcare system by acting as a bridge between patients and more advanced medical services, often being the first responders to medical emergencies.
