Intermediate: Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured is the center of a modern integrated teaching and learning system that will help define the future direction of EMS education. It combines current content with dynamic features, interactive technology, and both instructor and student resources. Intermediate addresses the objectives in both the 1985 and 1999 DOT EMT-Intermediate National Standard Curricula. It bridges the gap between the two curricula while still keeping them separate, making it user friendly for any instructor or student.
