Overview

Intermediate: Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured is the only text available that addresses the objectives in both the 1985 and 1999 EMT-Intermediate National Standard curricula. This text bridges the gap between the two curricula while still keeping them separate, making it user friendly for any instructor or student.
