This practical text was created to replace EMS skill sheets recently discontinued by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT). This text covers the basics of the EMT scope of practice in Oregon and was created with the diversity of EMT practitioners and their patients in mind, including not only racial diversity but also LGBTQ populations, and considerations for EMTs practicing in rural environments.
