Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), 80 hours of education. An EMR provides front line EMS care, typically within a team but are not educated to take care of patients in the back of an ambulance. Most EMRs are on rapid response vehicles and help other EMS providers at a scene.
Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), 220 hours of education. An EMT can serve in the patient compartment of an ambulance. EMTs use medical equipment such as automatic defibrillators, deliver trauma care and are educated in a simple way over all injuries and diseases. EMTs form the backbone of EMS delivery in the United States. Most work in a team with more advanced providers
Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT), 230 additional hours of education. To be an AEMT requires a person to first be an EMT, then take the advanced education course. Some states combine EMT and AEMT education in 300+ hour courses. AEMTs provide interventions to patients that if done improperly can cause harm. The AEMT level of care allows agencies to offer Advanced Life Support in local communities.
Our Paramedic, 1,112 hours of accredited education. Paramedics provide the most advanced care of all EMS professionals. To become a Paramedic a person must first be an EMT. Paramedic education is accredited by the Commission on Allied Health Education Accreditation. Paramedics work primarily in urban and suburban communities. About 95% of Paramedics are fully compensated employees.
Tactical Medic, 52+ additional education beyond EMT. The typical Tactical Medic provides medical support to the police tactical unit (SWAT) or the military medic providing medical support to a unit of combat soldiers. Many Tactical Medics are credentialed police officers in addition to serving as the medic on the special operations team.

The Community Paramedic Program prepares EMS professionals to support patients beyond the emergency response setting through expanded assessment, care coordination, patient education, chronic disease support, and community-based health care services. This training helps paramedics work alongside health care partners to reduce unnecessary emergency department visits, improve follow-up care, and connect patients with appropriate resources.
The TECC course is the civilian counterpart to the military TCCC course. It is designed for military medics, corpsmen, and pararescuemen who are preparing to deploy in support of combat operations. Casualty care on the battlefield must be the best possible combination of good medicine and good small-unit tactics. For more information about our TECC course, visit emtt.org.
