seems like you are Canada's version of the US EMT

Sounds similar to that of an EMT-Basic. However, jurisdictions and states can dictate more or fewer skills, as well as the Operational Medical Director (OMD). Many EMT's can administer Aspirin, Glucose, Nitro, EpiPen, CPAP, Albuterol/Atrovent, and obtain 12-leads.
