Which level is described as having training in specific aspects of advanced life support such as intravenous therapy and certain emergency medications?

• A. Paramedic
• B. EMR
• C. EMT
• D. Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT)

Answer: (D)

In EMS tiers, the ability to perform intravenous therapy and to administer certain emergency medications is a hallmark of a level that sits between basic responders and paramedics. This level is trained specifically in select advanced life support skills—enough to start IV access and give a limited set of medications—without the full scope of procedures and drugs a paramedic handles.

So, the description matches Advanced Emergency Medical Technician. They bridge the gap by providing targeted ALS capabilities beyond basic life support, while remaining more limited than a paramedic, who has the broadest scope of ALS.
