National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians

A national registry of emergency medical technicians (EMTs) is a list of everyone who has been trained to help people in medical emergencies. It is kept by the government and is used to make sure that all EMTs have the proper training and skills to respond to medical emergencies and provide care to those in need. It also helps EMTs stay updated on the latest medical advances and treatments during the times of emergency so they can best help their patients.
