In fact, EMT certification is not the same from state to state. Some states have their own certification process and only recognize EMT's that have their certification. Other states participate in a national EMT registry.

Yes, paramedics are different than EMT's. The biggest difference is the amount of training each receives. While EMT's receive a few hundred hours of training, paramedics usually have 1,000+ hours of training.
