Study material, not medical advice.

This is not medical advice

Everything here — the notes, the question banks, the flow diagrams, the scenarios, the drug pages and the reference cards — exists to help somebody learn. None of it is advice about a real patient, and reading it does not create any clinician–patient relationship or any professional relationship with you.

If someone in front of you is sick or hurt, call your emergency number. Do not use this site to decide what to do about an actual emergency.

Your protocols win, every time

EMS is practiced under medical direction, and what an EMT may do differs between states, services and medical directors. Where this site describes a dose, an interval, a device or a sequence, it is describing what is commonly taught nationally — which is the right thing to study for a national exam and the wrong thing to follow when your own protocol says otherwise.

Several pages say so in place, because the difference is real: whether you may assist with a second dose of epinephrine, whether you may attempt to realign a limb to restore a pulse, whether you may give anything for a fever, and whether you may proceed under implied consent for a minor all vary. When this site and your protocol disagree, your protocol and your medical director govern.

What we can and cannot promise about accuracy

The clinical content is written against current national guidance, and the editions it is written to are listed on the Sources page. Corrections are made as guidance changes and as errors are found, and the changelog records them.

What is not true, and would be easy to assume: this material has not been reviewed and signed off by a named clinician. That review is something the site wants and does not yet have, and until it does, this page is the honest place to say so. Study from it, and check anything that will change what you do against your course materials and your protocols.

If you find something wrong, say so — testaolivier10@gmail.com. A report that turns out to be right is the most useful thing anybody sends.

Not affiliated with anybody, and not a certification

This is an independent project: not a company, not a training program, and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, any state EMS office, any EMS training institution or any university. NREMT is a registered trademark of the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians, used here only to say what the material is for.

Working through this site earns no credit, no certificate and no qualification of any kind. Certification comes from an accredited course and the Registry, and from nowhere else.

Using the site

No account is needed for any feature. If you make one, you are responsible for what happens under it, and an account being used to attack or abuse the site can be removed.

Two ordinary requests. Do not try to break, overload or gain unauthorised access to the site or its infrastructure. And if you are republishing the material rather than studying from it, read the license first: the written content is offered under Creative Commons BY-NC 4.0, the code under the MIT license, and a few third-party assets carry their own terms.

Availability

The site is free and offered as it is. It can go down, a page can break, and a feature can change or be removed. Your progress lives in your own browser unless you sign in, so the most reliable way to keep it is the backup described on the Privacy page.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, this site is provided without warranties of any kind, and the author is not liable for any loss or damage arising from using it or relying on it — including any clinical decision. That sentence is doing real work rather than sitting here as boilerplate: this is a free study aid written by one person, and it is not a substitute for training, supervision or judgement.
