As an international EMT, your duties are to travel overseas to provide EMT services and fulfill other patient care responsibilities. Some International EMTs work on assignment or contract with a healthcare company, but you can also respond to natural disasters or other issues where international aid and cooperation is necessary to provide medical assistance. You may work for an international staffing agency or for a large international non-profit, such as Doctors Without Borders. As a licensed EMT, you are a first responder, and you help with triage and assessing patients before they move to a medical care facility.
