All Paramedics are EMT's, but not all EMT's are Paramedics. It is a 
progressive licensure process. A Paramedic is licensed to administer certain 
drugs, insert advanced airways and a few other skills. There used to be 3 
levels of EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) in this state, each level 
adding several critical skills. There are also different continuing 
education requirements between each level as well.

Jerry S. (A licensed Paramedic since 1986)
