no other than what u do as a basic u can start IV's and cardiac monitering, run fluids and a few other little perks . as a paramedic u can intubate, push Drugs. a advanced cant push drugs or any of that. paramedics can do a little more.

Arkansas goes not recognize emt-intermediate, therefore around here emt-paramedic is the advanced level, sorry for the confusion.

Tennessee calls it EMT/IV, we do test on NR for Lic, but TN adds their own little twists like IV cert. and advanced cardiac care...........I often wonder why we dont just use NREMT-I..............We can push meds with med direction.

The Basics here in Ordway Colorado are in charge of Vitals and etc. Intermediates are in charge of running IV's and some meds. Paramedics are in charge of Running Meds, Baseline Vitals, and use of the combi tubes. basically each rank of the Ambulance has a certain role to play in order to administer Medical Care properly to the patient.
