In the United States there are currently three levels of pre-hospital emergency medical certifications recognized nationally

EMT-Basic (commonly referred to as EMT or EMT-B): Basic life support level with approved skills like splinting, assessment, trauma management, bleeding control, basic resuscitation oxygen administration, basic airway management, and transport. Very limited administration of medications like aspirin, oral glucose, epinephrine auto injectors, albuterol inhalers and nitro vary from state to state and usually require phone contact with a doctor. IV certification can be obtained through additional classes and state level approval.

EMT-Intermediate (EMT-I): Advanced life support level. Fairly rare and found mostly in rural volunteer situations. Close to a paramedic, but limited scope with medications and most narcotics require phone contact with a doctor. Surgical procedures are out of scope usually.

EMT-Paramedic (Paramedic or EMT-P): Advanced life support level. Advances skills such as endotracheal tube (ET) airway management, needle chest decompressions, surgical airways, cardiac monitoring, pacing, en-tidal CO2 monitoring, SpO2 monitoring, cardiac, medical and narcotic medications (IV, IM, IN, IO,SL)

All schooling is at the nationally approved scope of practice. Working EMTs and Paramedics may be held to local and state modifications in their protocols.

Classes can be taken online through your state requirements of National registry for certified medical professionals. If you are a resident of Texas, you can use PERCOM for all EMT courses as well as First Responder.
