EMT Classification

Operating in complex settings brings challenges, which require flexibility and adaptability.

EMTs can be deployed as whole (standardized) or separate (modularized) entities to support specific surge requirements based on identified needs and gaps in capacity and capability.

EMTs can be divided into four different types based on their mobility and level of care provided. The graphic below shows the trade-off between mobility and the level of care that characterizes each of the EMT types.
