What does EMT provide?
An EMT provides life saving care, as well as peace of mind, minor medical care.
Who is the person who assumes the ultimate responsibility for patient care rendered by the emt?
Once an EMT has begun care of a patient, the care can only be transferred to someone with higher medical authority than the EMT. This can be to someone with a higher level of skill, but still within the ranks of EMT (an EMT-Basic transferring care to an EMT-Paramedic), or from EMT to a hospital. As a doctor is the highest medical authority, the doctor is also the only one who can release a patient back into their own care. This is why EMTs must obtain a physician's consent prior to releasing a patient into their own care with an SOR.

What is the job of an EMT?
The Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) exists in many countries and is a health care provider trained to provide prehospital emergency medical care. EMTs are trained to assist higher level EMT's, paramedics, and other medical personnel (e.g. physicians and nurses). EMT's provide patient care in accordance with protocols and guidelines established by physician medical directors.
What is the difference between emt and paramedic?
Let's break this down to the US version. There's are 3 levels of pre-hospital care in the US. The EMT system in the US is changing, it used to be: EMT-B(Basic), EMT-I(Intermediate) and EMT-P(Paramedic). This system is changing in most states to EMR, EMT, and EMT-P. The EMT is the mid level of pre-hospital care. This level usually requires about a year to a year and a half of college education and training. An EMT-I(EMT) can do some more advanced skills then the EMT-B(EMR) such as basic cardiac monitoring, cricothyrotomy and more medications. ALL levels of pre-hospital care are considered EMTs, but only the EMT-P is a Paramedic. The Paramedic is the most advanced level of EMT and requires about 2 years or college education and training. The Paramedic may do everything the EMT can do plus intubation, 12 lead ECG, administer 20 medications(depends on protocol) and more. Paramedics are Advanced Life Support(ALS) providers, the EMT-B is Basic Life Support(BLS) and the EMT-I is sort of a mix. Hopefully this helped answer your question. It's OK to call a Paramedic an EMT but you can't call a EMT a Paramedic.
