A paramedic is a healthcare professional, predominantly in the pre-hospital and out-of-hospital environment, and working mainly as part of emergency medical services (EMS), such as on an ambulance. The scope of practice of a paramedic will vary between countries, but generally includes decision making around the emergency care of patients. In some countries 'Paramedic' is a protected title. Becoming a paramedic is very difficult and requires extensive training as well as a constant readiness to run into potentially dangerous situations.
