Emergency Medical Responder, where does that stand? Is it a step before or after technician?

NYS does not have EMR's. We have Certified First Responers (CFR'S) which are the step below EMT-Basics. CFR's are not able to transport in an ambulance without at least an EMT-B but are trained to stabilize patients until more advanced EMS arrives.

In Ct it is the following from lowest to hihgest

MRT - Medical Response Technicians aka First Responders

EMT's

EMT-I "IV Techs"

EMT-P Paramedics

I beleive that only the New Haven area (Yale & St Raphels sponor hospital area) are the only ones that no longer recognize EMT-I's in the state. All other sponsor hospitals do.
