Publisher's Note Whether they are seeking a career in emergency medicine or simply want to serve in the volunteer ambulance corps, anyone who wants to ride in an ambulance must have credentials as an EMT, at least at the Basic level. And in order to get that certification, they must not only complete a rigorous course of study but also take and pass the EMT-Basic certification exam. Approximately 15,000 people take EMT-Basic examinations annually. This book offers the most focused test preparation for the EMT-Basic exam sponsored by the National Registry of EMTs, used by most U.S. states to certify EMTs.
