What specific classes will EMT basic and intermediate programs include?
EMT- B (basic) and EMT- I (intermediate) level training will generally include very similar classes specific to the common tasks associated with the job. The classes that are most often found to be part of EMT-B and EMT-I training programs are as follows. • Spinal immobilization • Defibrillation/Automated External Defibrillator (AED) • Dressing and Bandaging • Trauma Assessment • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) • Splinting Although the training associated with the two intermediate EMT designations, EMT-I/85 and EMT-I/99, are categorically similar to EMT-B (basic) training, there are still a few characteristic differences between basic and intermediate EMT training.
