To tact emergency situations the medical technicians ought to be trained and acquire skills. During emergency situation to take proper care the medical technician students are educated and prepared. There are special vocational colleges, which offer certain training methods to the students, which help them in grooming themselves into a complete medical technician. These technicians have an important role in patients' health care. 

In looking after patients who require immediate and emergency medical attention these medical technicians are skilled in. Necessary steps towards health of a patient and to stabilize them are taken by these medical technicians before going to any nearby hospitals. Some special training skills are required to stabilize the health, as it is not very easy. There are mainly 3 steps towards obtaining optimum health condition of a patient. Some medical duties, which are demanded by each level, must be given properly by the technician. Starting from level one each technician has to proceed carefully to the other steps.These levels are as follows:

Basic:

The basic part consists of skills that a medical technician must have for different types of patients, such as trauma, heart and respiratory emergencies. During emergency situations the medical health of the patient has to be very cautiously assessed. Theoretical and clinical training are the two parts of the basic part. Some of these are discussed with the technicians: shock management, types of burns, joint splitting, hemorrhage control and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. Medical duties are performed by the students' initially under the guide of more trained and experienced professionals.

Intermediate:

As the level of learning proceeds, there is more advance in skills to be learnt. This level includes practices that are life supporting in nature. These steps are taken to restore the patient's health stability. The actual protocols that are to be followed are broken down here such as those to be followed in a burnt patient. In order to receive proper medical treatment in time before fatality of the patient the transportation procedure of a medically compromised patient is modified. There are few things which are discussed in this level, they are gunshot wound response, hazardous material identification, blood borne pathogen control and disinfection. As the patients with spinal or lung or chest traumas are to be treated in a different manner, therefore they have different treatment methods, which are to be discussed. 35-55 credit hours are the training period generally. 

Paramedic:

Paramedic training is the highest and ultimate level of the Emergency Medical Technicians during the medical training. The students come in to the real field in this level and are complete technicians in the sense they start using the experience gained in the previous levels and apply them on the patients like giving proper medications, incubating and electro cardiogram interpretation. Students are required to complete atleast 1000 hours during initial training periods before going through these programs. Field experience training is also included in this level.
