- Just for info, here's what we've got in California:
-
- EMT-IA (EMT Basic, ambulance certified)
- EMT-IFS (EMT Basic, fire service)
- EMT-INA (EMT Basic, non-ambulance)
-
- Note: Most places only teach the EMT-IA (one-A) course, as it is applicable
- for the others.
-
- EMT-D (EMT Basic, with auto or semi-auto defibrillation cert)
-
- EMT-II (Limited Advanced Life Support, has been phased out in metro
- areas where the EMT-II's took upgrade courses to EMT-P, some
- rural areas still have EMT-II's)
-
- EMT-P (Paramedic, advanced life support)
-
- CFR (Certified First Responder, I don't have much info on this, as it's
- fairly new around here, most are law enforcement/rangers/etc)
-
- MICN (Mobile Intensive Care Nurse)
-
- We have folks that call themselves MICP's here, and as far as I can tell,
- it's just a title that the particular paramedic training program issues
- to it's graduates. No difference between an MICP and an EMT-P. Statewide
- certification is for EMT-P, not MICP.
-
- That's it for California.
