The EMT-P reports to the Program Manager or a designated Manager or Site Lead as directed by the Program Manager. The EMT-P will deliver services in one of two settings: (1) Field Health Unit (2) Medical/trauma hospital.
The EMT-P Interviews patients, measures vital signs (i.e., pulse rate, temperature, blood pressure, weight, and height), and records the information on patients’ charts. EMT may be required to draw and collect blood samples from patients and prepare specimens for laboratory analysis.
