>>562895where i am (ca) we don't in-house (fire & ambulance), but the public at large, and hell, even half the er staffs in my county don't know the difference. and the liscencing shit all is (or at least was, when i went through it a few years ago) emt-p and job postings always say emt-p license req'd. so as pissy as medics get about being called an emt (myself included), we're still emts.
