An EMT is an emergency medical technician. There are three levels of EMTs in the State of Ohio: Basic, Intermediate and Paramedic. The major difference between an EMT-Basic and EMT-Paramedic is the ability to give medications and complete and interprut heart rhythms. Both Basics and Paramedics are highly trained working well to compliment one another in treating their patients.
