Myth #1: Personal coaches are professionals who can help you achieve your goals. Fact: Some, but certainly not all, coaches are professionals who can help you reach your goals.

The primary difference between a Paramedic and an EMT is the amount of education and their scope of practice (what they are allowed to do). Both are highly skilled at their respective professions; however they are not equal in the level of care that is provided. EMT-Basics are often referred to as EMT's.
The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) provides national certification of EMTs and paramedics at three levels: EMT/Basic, Advanced EMT or EMT-Intermediate, and Paramedic. Some states, however, have their own certification programs and use different titles.
