What do you mean, EMT's working as ER techs?sunnyjohn said:Don't leave out the ER tech aspect....
I'd include some discussion of the diffent "models" of EMS (third service, cross trained / dual role, single service, etc.) as well as the difference b/w private ambulance duties and 911 response.

Usually yes. Most, if not all ER Techs are EMTs.
I might include alternative career paths for EMT/medic trained folks, such as SAR, SWAT, wilderness, oil platforms, etc.
Some mention of military medic requirements might also be interesting, i.e., what does it take to be a corpsman, medic, etc. in various branches and how their scope of practice differs from the street medic.
Also, it might be good to have an explanation of the different alphabet soup courses and links to their websites: ACLS, ACLS-EP, PALS, APLS, AMLS, NALS, BTLS, ATLS, etc. Wouldn't hurt also to have a link to www.acls.net.

It would be helpful to have links (probably to other FAQ posts on the SDN) to sites with a description of the process of applying to medical school, i.e., prereqs, etc. I get asked this a lot by medics thinking about stepping up.
Links to the NREMT, NAEMT, and other organizations would be interesting.
Continuing education, and the different forms it may take (classroom, magazines, videos). This should have links to JEMS and EMS Mag as well.

Anyone have any suggestions for things to include?
Don't be shy!
As a Canadian, I suggest also including some information on Canadian EMS. You can PM me if you want to do this and require information.
