![WHO IS EMT?
Emergency Medical Technician
(EMT) or ambulance technician
are terms used in some countries
to denote a health care provider
of emergency medical services.[1]
EMTs are clinicians, trained to
respond quickly to emergency
situations regarding medical issues,
traumatic injuries and accident
scenes. Under the British System
and those that are influenced by
it, are referred to as Ambulance
technician (often shortened to
tech), whereas in the American
system and its influenced
countries, it is known as
Emergency medical technician
(often abbreviated as EMT).](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/emtworker-150905080304-lva1-app6891/85/Emt-worker-3-320.jpg)
![WHERE THEY ARE ?
EMTs are most commonly found
working in ambulances, but should
not be confused with "ambulance
drivers" – ambulance staff who in
the past were not trained in
emergency care or driving. EMTs
are often employed by
ambulance services, governments,
and hospitals, but are also
sometimes employed by fire
departments (and seen on fire
apparatus), in police departments
(and seen on police vehicles), and
there are many firefighter/EMTs
and police officer/EMTs.[1] EMTs
operate under a limited scope of
practice. EMTs are typically
supervised by a medical director,
who is a physician.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/emtworker-150905080304-lva1-app6891/85/Emt-worker-4-320.jpg)
