Paramedics work with emergency medical services and give pre-hospital treatment to patients. The most common paramedics that we encounter are those who transport patients between facilities in ambulances. They need to have a good grasp of what to do when in need of an emergency and it is their responsibility to give the best care possible to the patients before they reach the hospital.
They tend to primarily work in caregiving units like aviation medicine, paramedics for the police force and urban search rescue teams. However, a majority of paramedics are involved with the emergency medical services unit.
