- An emergency medical technician (EMT) is an emergency responder trained to provide emergency medical services to the critically ill and injured. Once thought of as an "ambulance driver or attendant," the modern EMT performs many more duties than in the past, and responds to many types of emergency calls, including medical emergencies, hazardous materials exposure, childbirth, child abuse, fires, rescues, injuries, trauma and psychiatric crises. Leonard Betts and Michelle Wilkes were EMTs in Pittsburgh.
- Once thought of as only an "ambulance driver" or "attendant," modern EMTs performs a wide variety of medical procedures and responds to many types of emergency calls. The procedures that EMTs may perform at his or her certification level differ by country and by US state and are set by their system's medical director in accordance with local laws.
- An Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) is a health care provider trained to provide prehospital emergency medical care. EMTs are divided into numerous levels depending on location and are trained to assist higher level EMTs, paramedics, and other medical personnel.

- Once thought of as only an "ambulance driver" or "attendant," modern EMTs performs a wide variety of medical procedures and responds to many types of emergency calls. The procedures that EMTs may perform at his or her certification level differ by country and by US state and are set by their system's medical director in accordance with local laws. Types of emergencies that an EMT may be called on to respond to are medical emergencies, hazardous materials exposure, childbirth, child abuse, fires, rescues, trauma and psychiatric crises. EMTs are employed as a part of numerous teams or systems such as by ambulance companies, as a member of technical rescue teams, in career or volunteer fire department, and tactical response teams (e.g. SWAT teams) to name a few. EMTs are trained in emergency medical procedures that need to be deployed within a rapid time frame from onset of a patient's condition (e.g. treatments for cardiac arrest). The EMT's immediate focus is rapid evaluation of a patient's condition and maintaining a patient's airway, breathing and circulation. Immediate EMT interventions include providing CPR and cardiac defibrillation when necessary, controling severe external bleeding, preventing shock, immobilization of the neck to prevent further spinal damage, immediate treatment (such as splinting) of bone fractures (both open and closed). Interventions are designed to prevent further injury or disability and preserve life or conditions conducive to life while EMT's expedite transport of the patient to a hospital emergency department for definitive medical care.
