| | Emergency Medical Services - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The emphasis in emergency services is on following correct procedure quickly and accurately rather than on making in-depth diagnoses that require much professional training and experience. | | | EMS providers work under the license and indirect supervision of a medical director or board-certified physician who oversees the policies and protocols of a particular EMS system or organization. | | | ALS providers can perform invasive procedures (intravenous cannulation, endotrachael intubation, etc.), give medications, analyze electrocardiograms, and so forth. |
