Development of examination objectives for the Korean paramedic and emergency medical technician examination: a survey study.

Purpose: The duties of paramedics and emergency medical technicians (P&EMTs) are continuously changing due to developments in medical systems. This study presents evaluation goals for P&EMTs by analyzing their work, especially the tasks that new P&EMTs (with less than 3 years’ experience) find difficult, to foster the training of P&EMTs who could adapt to emergency situations after graduation.

Methods: A questionnaire was created based on prior job analyses of P&EMTs.
